Can someone please help me find the Take Em Trajan play from the doomed final possession of Duke's loss in the 1999 championship game?

It was like a diagram of Duke's future lottery picks standing around doing nothing while Trajan Langdon dribbles into a double team and throws up some junk.

I've googled it every way I can think of and canot find it.


It’s a 10 minute or so video. Obviously, scroll to the end.
 
Wait!

So you rooted for Duke to beat State in the Elite 8 last year? If so, you are probably in a select group of 5% or less of UNC fans.

I am pretty sure 99.9% of Duke fans root for State against UNC.
yes.

i wouldn't pull for state against the taliban after their contributions to our NCAA investigation.

There was a hand-drawn satirical image that was posted on IC a loooooooong time ago that was a diagram of the play.

I'm guessing that's what Scientific Mapp's referencing.

I did a quick Google search and couldn't find it, but it was a long time ago. I don't know if the internets still have a record you can find.

That's the one. It was hilarious.

We do because we just don't have that intense of a rivalry with them anymore. The growth of the ACC REALLY killed Duke vs State (I mean that and we have owned them in everything, including football).

And good grief Keats can only get them to play well against Duke but they will lay down like dogs for every other crap team. It's really weird.

I have never watched that play. I watched it live in Cameron as a student. It was honestly a scarring experience...
 
Having watched the end of the 1999 dook v. UConn game for the 1st time in years, the best part, aside from UConn winning, is that on two consecutive possessions, Coach K has Trajan Langdon try to take Rickey Moore off the dribble both possessions - the 2nd one the length of the court.
 
Absolutely I did. I cheered very hard for Duke to beat NC State in the ACC Tournament and end their season. When that didn't happen, I cheered even harder for Duke to beat NC State in the NCAA Elite 8. The last time I think I cheered for NC State to beat Duke would have been when I was in high school, so late 2000's. Haven't pulled for State under any circumstance since then.
Eff dook

The even better part for me was that I had UConn on the moneyline parlayed with the over. The spread was like 8-9 points so that ML was fat, and so was the payout.

Couple that with the sweet sweet dook loss and it was one of my favorite CBB memories ever. F dook.
 
Watching the Syracuse Stanford game.

Stanford was up 22-2 in the first half, but end the half 33-24. Crazy.

I really wish the Stanford center Raynaud would have transferred here.
 
I know Auburn won't move down after winning on the road against a ranked Ole Miss squad today but I think Duke should be #1 in the polls on Monday. They're clearly the best team in the country, and they have the head-to-head win over Auburn to boot.

I just hope UNC can regroup with a week off. Next Saturday's home game against Pitt is make or break for whatever absurdly small NCAAT chances we have left.

Beating a bunch of ACC poop teams doesn't entitle you to the No. 1 slot.
