Best game in the rivalry from each side's perspective

[JohaadDBC]

Watching this 2012 @UNC game just made me remember how much I loved Austin Rivers' short time here. So much emotion, so much heart, and in about an hour, so much weight in his balls.

DurhamSon has stolen may faves in an earlier post:

- 1998 Senior Day
- 2010 Senior Day (incredible domination)
- 2011 ACC Title (everything came together and the Devils played a beautiful game)

To pick one at random: 1997 home game where Trajan hit a bunch of threes.

i think krs had to be kidding earlier re: King Rice. he made Bobby Hurley cry on the court and it was awesome. He also dominated hurley in Cameron to the tune of a 91-71 victory that i got to watch from the 1st row behind the crazies. it was glorious.

Why would I be kidding? Their battles were epic. Through their obvious disdain for one another, they pretty much personified the Duke/UNC rivalry.

As you mentioned, Rice had his way with Hurley on multiple occasions, but Hurley had his moments as well. FR/SO Hurley was 2-3 against JR/SR Rice. And honestly, from a statistical standpoint, I do not care one way or the other. This thread is about 'rivalry perspective'...from my perspective, the numbers are subordinate to the memories. I'll never forget those two.

Duke's Dan Meagher and UVA's Tom Sheehey are the only other players I can recall who demonstrated the mutual hatred that Hurly and Rice did.

Definitely no kidding on my part.

Meagher! Yes!

Dan Meagher, pride of St. Catherines Ontario. Before my time as a Duke follower, but as I have learned, he was pretty badass.

True story: Meagher once threatened to sodomize an opponent with a frozen maple leaf.

nice win guys. happiest i've ever been after a loss to duke.

 

[DurhamSon]

From the viewpoint of someone who is not a fan of either school this game was rather dull.

 

[rome8180]

Yeah, that one is not going down as a classic.

I hated it and it was the outcome I wanted.

How do you know?

 

[tankbaby2]

it was a generally ugly game marked more by poor play than by good play. we kept it close while shooting 38%.

 

[uncy12]

I don't really think either side played that well last night.

 

[torontoduke]

I agree with the above posts - ugly game. UNC brought much hustle to the game, IMO. Duke made big plays at the end.

How about that TT? Where are the haters now?

This is definitely not the place to find TT haters.
