Leattner: 10 for 10 FG (including 1-1, 3pt) , 10 for 10 FT, 31 points, perfect game

That Grant Hill pass was fantastic. None of that happens without that inbound...

I know Christian made the pressure shot but how about that pass by Grant Hill? Incredible!!

This is the greatest college game ever!! Look at the score! The game kept going back and forth. Feels like yesterday can’t be believe 29yrs have past

Without a question...the greatest pass AND shot in college basketball history

Love him or hate him. Respect him or disrespect him. Laettner is one of the top college basketball players of all time. 4 final fours and 2 titles at Duke. He finished 10 for 10 from both the floor and free throw line. I'm not putting him on the same level as Lew Alcindor or Bill Walton, but he's on a short list of players to follow them.

Say what you want about Laettner's NBA career... But, he was one of the best college players ever.

Dude didn’t miss a shot that whole game. Legend.

Anyone coming back to watch after the UCLA v Gonzaga game

Miss the old NCAA, miss Verne and great broadcasters who were artists of their craft.

My dad passed away from cancer in 1988. He was diagnosed and told he was going to die and he passed away 6 days later. He was a graduate of Duke back in the '50s so we were all born into being die hard Duke basketball fans. He died never getting to see Duke win a national championship. But then they upset UNLV in '91 and went on to win it all for the first time. And then in '92 for the Kentucky game, I remember I was in college and I went over to watch it with my older brother who was at law school at the same university during that time. When Sean Woods hit that shot, I went outside and started smoking a cigarette, and I remember thinking about my dad and how much he would have loved to see them win a championship and I looked up into the night sky and said, "They had a good run, didn't they?" And I was upset about the loss, but was also genuinely content that we all, sans my Dad, finally got to see a Duke National Championship the previous year. And then I went back inside and the rest is history... EDIT: *sitting here balling my eyes out as I typed this and remembering that event that marked my life in such an incredible way.*

The thing I remember most about the Kentucky go ahead basket at 2 seconds was the Duke response. They looked so confident when they went off the floor for that timeout. No heads down. No shaking heads in disbelief. It was all business and "okay, we need that one back." It's like they knew, just flat knew they were going to somehow someway get the win. I don't think I've ever before or since seen that kind of confidence in a situation like this.

These dudes are amazing! This is college basketball. Just as entertaining as the pros. To be honest this may have been the most perfect sports game ever of any sport.

I was at a going away party for my wife's coworker while this bake was on. At one point, the guest of honor says she needed film for her camera and I quickly volunteered to get it so I could at least listen to the game in the car. I sat in the car outside the store for 15 min waiting for the end of the game because I didn't want to miss a second

Christian was such a killer in college. I was fortunate enough to have watched this live when I was a kid. Definitely the best basketball game I’ve seen.

Hill saying Oh My God over and over and over was the best part.

I was lucky enough to watch every minute of this live. I'm a UK fan but still one of the greatest games in history. I remember being exhausted when it was over. When the shot went in I was laying in the floor face down for a good 5 minutes. That was the toughest loss in my history as a UK fan.

One of the greatest (if not the greatest) play/shot in NCAA history.

For the game, Laettner was 10-10 from the field and 10-10 from the line, scoring 31 points without missing a shot. Not too shabby.

Lifelong Tarheel fan here, but this has to be the greatest moment in college bball history, to date. Hands down.

Hard to believe the game is almost 30 years old- time flies by so quickly. 😉

Still the greatest shot in the history of college basketball 🏀

This is one of the greatest shots under pressure I have ever seen 💪🏾

That's why this is the greatest college basketball game ever played!!!

Grant Hill should get almost as much credit as Laettner

Anyone else watching this after Jalen Suggs hit the GW 3 against UCLA in the Final four?

This is one of many reasons why he was put on dream team.

Still gives me chills to this day! That's why Christian Laettner is the greatest DUKIE OF ALL TIME! What a clutch player. He also put uconn out with a last second shot.

This really was the GOAT game of all college basketball games

You have to admit shots like that are fantastic

Not just a fantastic game, but Verne Lundquist shows why he's one of the GOAT's. Just a simple "yeess!" and goes quiet, allowing the picture to tell the story. Broadcasting like this is a true art; I watched this game at home ,but Verne made me feel like I was Courtside.

Watched this live on TV. Still the best basketball game I’ve ever seen.

I'll never forget this moment! I was watching this about 20 minutes away in Clementon, NJ with my dad. He was asleep on the recliner and I screamed like I have never screamed before at 12 years old. Thanks Coach K for all of the memories! I love you for being a man of integrity and someone to look up to!! Duke for life!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m not sure which was more perfect. The pass or the shot. Simply perfection!

I'm Duke class of '78, and as long as I live, I will never forget this game.

One of the best college basketball games I have ever seen!

Grant hill was a great player and class act

Classic!! After 28 years still give me the chills!!

Still, probably the greatest college basketball game that I ever watched.

i love laettner bobby hurley, the whole duke gang from 1992, I was 14 years old and hung on every shot of the NCAA tournament in my hometown of chillicothe, oh 45601

There will never be another Christian Laettner, he's the reason why I became a Blue Devil fan.

One of the greatest teams & games ever! This is a moment I remember exactly where I was at circus circus west casino when that shot dropped.

I remember watching this game with my dad, it’s one of the classic buzzer beaters in the history of march madness, fun memories

A real life Hoosier-moment.....great teams, great game.....so glad to have been alive for this spectacle

This game will forever remind me of my uncle who just passed. All I could hear him scream was he dribbled!!! Lol rip uncle Mike

I was watching this game live and was a huge Duke fan. I came running down the stairs yelling and my sister yelled, "What's wrong with you!?!" 🤣

I was 11 years old when this game was played, but it is still burned into my mind as the greatest basketball game there ever was. Just fantastic. Great players all over the court making great plays. A couple of years ago I saw another great game between UCLA and Gonzaga (and this year's was exciting, but not as quality). That's the next closest to this Duke Kentucky game and it's still a long distance from it. I don't know if we will ever see this type of college basketball greatness again. So many players leave early or transfer, etc.

Laettner had ice water running through veins!

I'll never forget this game

Gotta love Elmore after Woods made his shot.." look it went in alright but it was a terrible shot!" Lol spot on

The glory.... And this is why we love March Madness

30 years later K won another elite 8, simply amazing. The GOAT... greatest of all time

Love him or hate him, Laettner was one of the best NCAA basketball players of all time.

I remembered that game! That shot broke some hearts! Lol

The Wood 🏀 shot to put Kentucky ahead: Amazing. The Best college PG ever, Bobby Hurley: Clutch. The great Grant Hill 🏀. The Dream Teamer. CL smooth. Two coaching legends.

That's just how Laettner got down.

Laettner's mom> Yup, that's my boy.

Man, I thought that Mashburn had it on lock but Laettner simply would not be denied!! Game for the ages!!!

Grant Hill to Christian Laettner and the two Maryland comebacks... Jason Williams. Duke basketball is holy.

I was watching this game and it was glorious! I'll never forget that shot! Perfection! When it was needed most!

What a great job of announcing -- Verne Lundquist was amazing and very underrated. Sometimes, the best thing to do is let the crowd tell the story and say nothing. Epic game and ending.

That last Kentucky's shot by Woods was magnificent too!

This was the very first basketball game I’d ever watched. Duke is now my #2, #1 team. I’ve been a fan of college basketball ever since.

The announcer yelling YES !, and then remaining quiet to enjoy the moment...was so perfect for the moment. Up there with some of the best sports calls ever. By saying one word, and realizing in an instant...to just let the fans enjoy the moment. You can wax poetic when the shock wears off🤯

Jalen Sugg's shot was not a win or lose situation, the game was tied. Therefore, Laettner's shot is much better because the game was on the line. The difficulty factor was much greater also. Had to accurately throw it, catch it, make the shot. There is no comparison, Laettner for the win!

Latner was the most clutch college basketball player I had ever seen.

I was 12 years old watching this game with my best friend at the time, deep into my NCAA obsession.. i was a Tarheels fan so I hated the result here but what a game! I miss those days and I haven’t talked to that guy since we started at different high schools..

I'm not a Duke fan but I get goosebumps and tears in my eyes watching that play. Perhaps it's the nostalgia for how things used to be. As an experiment I asked all my friends and colleagues (close to my age) to name the best decade of their lives: they easily said the 1990s. Before internet, political divisiveness.

Still gives the goosebumps and tears...after all these years.

"Why was Laettner on the dream team?" This is why. 10/10 FG, 10/10 FT. Back to back NCAA champions.

The Shot! 31yrs later and still incredible.

Getting to experiencing a championship celebration with your team in a pile like this is one of the greatest feelings in the world.

I remember every second of that ending. I was watching this game with my 1 year old son playing in his play pen. When Laettner hit that shot, I jumped up and yelled so loud I scared my son. I landed funny and severely sprained my ankle. I laid on the floor in pain and couldn't believe what I just did. Especially since I was a avid Maryland fan. That was a great Duke team.

I haven't seen a game like this since.

Legendary. Everything about this game was mystical and magical

Awesome style of play back then. Different era, so fun to watch. And, notice you didn’t hear the officials incessantly blowing their whistles, trying to stop the celebration, so they can go to the monitors to confirm the shot on replay?!?

One of Duke's greatest finishes.

And this is part of why he was the college player on the dream team and not Shaq. Great winner and player in college.

Great moment in Coach K's illustrious career. Will miss you being the Duke coach

Never gets old - what a game - what a finish.

That shot, that moment.....never gets old. I mean NEVER.

After watching Gonzaga and UCLA a week ago, I recall this game as well. Proud of both UCLA and Gonzaga!

I was in middle school when this game was played and it's still the best basketball game I've ever watched!!!

I was in Chapel Hill North Carolina at the Dean dome watching Jerry stackhouse play a championship high School game when this happened .. some of the people in the crowd had radios or other access to this game and all of a sudden everyone went crazy saying that Duke was going to lose. Then a minute or two later everyone went even crazier cursing Laettner

...and in that final timeout, coach K asked Grant could he make the pass and he said YES..then Laettner said, "if Grant makes the pass I will make the shot" and.....WOW....#clutch #confident....easily in my top five college players of all time...👍....#UKRAINE 🙏🙌

As a Duke fan, I was so happy with that win but even in the moment I was sad the game ended because it was one of the best match ups ever in college basketball. Both teams were so good and it was back and forth the whole way. I felt sorry for the KY players because they played a great game and truly deserved to win as much as Duke did. That may have been the Elite 8 but those were the two best teams in the tournament, it was the real national championship game because the winner of that game would go on to win it all.

I never liked Lattener! But the guy was pure clutch durring his Duke days!

The 1992 Tournament was my introduction to March Madness me and my father watched this game. Easily the best college basketball 🏀 game ever played back and forth between 2 blue blood heavyweights. And 4:51 as soon as Christian got that shot off you knew it was going in.

I remember trying to mimic that last second shot for like a year in my backyard by myself.

Best college basketball game and finish I’ve ever seen.

Perfect game by Laettner. Goes down in the books as one of the best NCAA performances ever 👌

After all this time it still gives me chills.

Rick Pitino barely had it in him to shake hands with Coach K. What a soul-crushing defeat that had to be for Kentucky.

that shot + Shaq's decline, earned Laettner the college player spot in the Dream Team

I remember watching that game. One of the best college finals ever

Pitino had the time-out, and plenty of time otherwise, to assign someone to guard Hill on the in-bound .. still, to this day, can't believe he was given such a clear and easy path.

To this day that is still the greatest game, I've ever seen. And give credit where credit is due. The PASS was every bit as impressive as the SHOT. Kentucky committed a major defensive blunder there by not contesting the pass.

Nobody ever talks about that crazy shot Woods made...

Laettner was clutch for 3 straight offensive plays at the end there.

Apparently coach K went to the Kentucky locker room after the game to console Kentucky players and tell them he was honored to be in this game with them...
