Call off the NCAA Tournament!
Duke can't be beat.
If I had my druthers, that'd be the
headline for this story, which previews
tonight's Duke-North Carolina basket
ball game. Tipoff for the ESPN-covered
contest is at 9 in the Smith Center.
The wanna-be headline, in my mind
at least, beckons to that clunky cliche,
"On any given night, any team can beat
any other team."
The cliche connection started last
Feb. 12 when The National ran what
became a TrumanDewey-esque head
line: "CALL OFF THE NCAA TOUR
NAMENT! UNLV CANT BE B EAT."
Of course, the editors at the now
defunct all-sports newspaper appar
ently ecstatic over the Runnin' Rebs'

shellacking of No. 2 Arkansas
two days before jumped the gun in
declaring the national champ two
months early.
March 30, Duke won the un-win-nable.
The Devils downed Vegas 79-77
in the national semifinals before taking
the title two days later with a 72-65
victory against Kansas.
Since then, Duke the latest team
that can't be beat has rattled off 17
wins in 17 games, staying atop every
poll all season. During that stretch, the
Dev i Is, 8-0 in the ACC, have gone nearly
unchallenged, struggling only in an
overtime matchup at Michigan and at
Florida State Thursday a game in
which the Seminoles kept within strik
ing distance until the last two minutes,
when Duke blew it open to win 75-62.
Until someone proves otherwise,
Duke has become 1991-92'sSquadThat
Can't Be Beat. Granted, it's a histori
cally dubious title, but here's what the
Devils have done to deserve it:
Blown out their opponents by an
average of 22.4 points per game.
Defeated six Top 25 teams.
Connected on 74.7 percent of their
free throws.
Run off a school-record 23 straight
wins, having last lost March 10, when
North Carolina upended the Devils 96

Does anyone else remember when,
right after UNC's 99-88 loss at N.C.
State Jan. 22, a Wolfpack fan darted
onto the floor and "exchanged pleas
antries" with North Carolina coach
Dean Smith?
Wouldn't it be nice?
The game wasn't even over when
the Reynolds Coliseum rowdy raced
onto the hardwood to catch Smith be
fore Wolfpack coach Les Robinson
had a chance to talk to Smith.
Wouldn't it be great?
Chaos not the bad kind, just good
old-fashioned celebrating followed
that small incident on the Reynolds
floor. Students stormed the court in
hopes of getting a hand on State's
biggest giant-killer, Tom Gugliotta.
Five minutes after the game. Tar
Heel Sports Network radio announcer
Mick Mixon said he couldn't see any
of the floor because of the mob revel
ing in the upset win. The party didn't
end anytime soon.
Why should UNC students not be
given the same opportunity to ask Duke
coach Mike Krzyzewski, "How are
the wife and kids?" or "Gotten that
trophy stored away safely yet?" or
"Why do you look like a rat?" after a
UNC upset?
But even if you don't gel to have a
few words with Coach K, it would still
be cool to rush the floor and high-five
with the likes of Davis, Lynch and
Phelps if the Tar Heels won. The Smith
Center officials would have a cow, but
who cares?
Remember, the Dean Dome used to
be called the Dean E. Smith Student
Activities Center. Student Activities,
apparently because the higher-ups
wanted none of it whatsoever, was
removed from the arena's name after
one year.
The point is, the beloved Blue Dev
ils come to the Smith Center only once
a year. The loud, organized and utterly
classless Duke fans get to crowd the
floor at Cameron Indoor Stadium after
every game. '
If UNC beats Duke, why shouldn't
the Tar Heel faithful be allowed to
whoop it up at the Smith Center before
the fiesta shifts to Franklin Street?
Linda Woods, Smith's secretary,
wanted me to tell readers to make
some noise for tonight's showdown.
Then she paused.
"But then again," said Woods, "we
should be loud for every game be
cause we don't want the people at
Duke to think they're so important."
The only problem is, them Blue
Devils are pretty darn important.
They're the defending national cham
pions, and they have had only two
scares this season on the way to a 17
0 record. '
Oh, one more thing. Yes, the build
ing kills sound and the alumni have a
ton of lower-level seats, but all of us
are guilty of being a little too quiet at
games. Get to the game early and yell
'till you're hoarse.
Why do you think Duke is so good
in Cameron? Yeah, the team is decent,
but the crowd is great. There's no
reason you can't be at least half as
good in the Smith Center tonight.
Notre Dame and N.C. State) by an aver
age margin of 23.3 points.
The names behind this onslaught are
familiar to college basketball fans: All
American Christian Laettner, AII-ACC
guard Bobby Hurley and the high-reaching
Hills Grant and Thomas (no
relation). That foursome accounts for
64.6 points per game, with Laettner
pouring in 21.3 ppg. Hurley tallying
1 3.4 and the Hills hitting 1 5.0 (Thomas)
and 14.9 (Grant). The rest of the team
combines for 24.8 ppg, most of those
from senior Brian Davis (9 ppg) and
freshman Cherokee Parks (8).
Hurley, averaging 7.6 assists per
game, needs only two dishes for points
to break Tommy Amaker's school
record of 708, set from 1984-1987. A
junior. Hurley tallied his 1,000th point
in the Devils' 100-71 victory against
Notre Dame Saturday.
All in all, the numbers are stacked
not only for Hurley to get his two assists
tonight, but for Duke to get its 1 8th win,
and then its 1 9th Saturday against Loui
siana State and then its 20th Feb. 12
versus Georgia Tech and then its ...
Of course, that's the way the num
bers fall when you're playing the Squad
That Can't Be Beat.
Then again, that's the way the num
bers were falling 51 weeks ago when
Vegas made the cover of a near-bankrupt
newspaper a month before March
Madness had even started.
