Grant Hill
Remembers
NCAA Loss
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) ? When
Grant Hill looked at the faces of
Duke's seniors after last season's
second-round loss in the NCAA
tournament to California, he imme
diately established a goal for this
year.
"I saw it on everybody's face/
but especially them," Hill said in
reference to seniors Bobby Hurley
and Thomas Hill, who failed in their
bid for a fourth straight trip to the
Final Four.
"They were very upset. They
were crying," Hill said. "It was real
emotional in the locker room. I
didn't want to go through that in my
last game. 1 think that and a couple
of other things is" what is motivating
us to do well this year, especially
the seniors, wanting to go out on a
high note." ,
Sunday, Hill got his wish. The
Blue Devils, the second seed in the
Southeast region, made it io its sev
enth Final Four in nine years by
defeating Purdue 69-60 in the
regional final. Duke used a packed
zone defense to hold All-american
Glenn Robinson to a season-low 13
points on 6-22 shooting.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski
remembers a sjmilar time when a
Duke player cried after an NCAA
loss. It was 1985, and the Blue Dev
Boston College in the NCAA tour
nament. Dan Meagher, the tough
Canadian, couldn't stop the tears.
"He was really the only senior
who played a whole bunch and at
the end of that ball game in the lock
er room, he was just sobbing uncon
trollably," Krzyzewski said. "The
rest of the team was down, but they
weren't feeling like Danny. I'll
always remember it.
"He said 'You guys don't
understand. I don't have a chance
any more. This is it,' " Krzyzewski
recalled, "That was one of the key
things when we won in '91."
Hill, Antonio Lang and A4art> .
Clark have prolonged their final sea
son to make a return trip to Char
lotte. where they lost to Virginia in
. thp semifinals of4he Atlantic Coast?
Conference tournament. The second
engagement will take the Blue Dev
ils into the Final Four with a chance
for their third title in four seasons.
Duke will play Florida on Saturday,
followed by Arkansas and Arizona.
Hill was a vital part of the
title game on a memorable dunk
against Kansas, then helping a late
Duke run complete a big victory
over Michigan in 1992. The streak
ended last year when the Blue Dev
With two titles in two tries,
Hill suggested that winning so easi
ly might have hurt the team.
"Maybe you take things for
.granted, us Being here our first two
years and winning and being suc
cessful," he said. "Going through
last year was kind of 3 slap in the
face for all of us. We just wanted to
get back there and enjoy the
moment, and be like (Greg) Koubek
Laettner and those guys, going out
in style."
Under the circumstances,
Krzyzewski hopes the tracks of
Juke's tears have given the current
team the drive to win it now instead
of saying "Wait. 'til next year."
"In crunch time, there can be
a little bit more sense of urgency
and there's less of a chance of ratio
nalizing," he said. "I think those
teams (that win the national champi
onship) think as seniors instead of
underclassmen."
