Josh, Dustin, and Raul discuss how the 2001 Duke Blue Devils won Coach K his third national championship. They break down the circumstances leading up to 2001, including the heartbreaking loss to UConn in the 1999 National Championship game and the subsequent early departures of Elton Brand, William Avery, and Corey Maggette. They debate which was the better comeback against rival Maryland -- down 10 points with less than a minute left at Cole Field House or down 22 in the Final Four. Then they make their picks for greatest recruiting class in Duke Men's Basketball history.

Twenty years ago, when Maryland beat Indiana for the National Championship, it was one of the happiest scenes in the history of college basketball. Maryland fans had been through a lot, including sanctions after the departure of Bob Wade, which meant no TV, no national presence. For decades, Maryland was considered the poor cousin to ACC heavyweights Duke and North Carolina, occasionally NC State or Wake Forest. Gary Williams played at Maryland, and shares a great story about facing Billy Cunningham and Carolina. Lesley got to cover Gary at all three of his major stops - at Boston College when BC won the Big East in 1983, at Ohio State in the Big Ten, and at Maryland, where he returned to Cole Field House and the ACC. He called Maryland's win over Duke at home in 2002, "the greatest victory ever at Cole Field House" - and this from a guy who saw, in person, one of the most important games in history, when Texas Western, with five black starters, beat Kentucky in College Park for the Championship in 1966. It's Gary's passion for all things Terrapin that's made him so popular, and why the 2002 team will be celebrated all year.
Hey Joe: Was Duke's come back, 21 years ago, the greatest? Ovies' opinion on fantasy baseball? NFL picks from Giglio or Victoria? Anything planned to honor Coach K at the Smith Center? "Was Duke's comeback at Cole Field House, 21 years ago today, the greatest in ACC history?" "Should I be getting my NFL picks from Victoria instead of you?" "We all know how much you care about Giglio's fantasy football team-- and how much you loved talking about baseball with Adam Gold. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being absolutely miserable, how would you enjoy managing a season of fantasy baseball?" "Low key petty UNC won't do anything to honor Coach K at the Smith Center next week?" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When the final buzzer sounded on the 1966 NCAA Championship between Texas Western and Kentucky little did anyone in attendance at Cole Field House in College Park, Md know the impact of the Miners’ 72-65 victory. Don Haskins’ team – and its five African-American starters – beat Adolph Rupp’s top-ranked Wildcats – and their five white starters – in a game that did more than simply alter the course of college athletics. Three members of that Texas Western starting lineup helped commemorate the 50th anniversary of this historic event: guard Willie Worsley, center David Lattin, and forward Willie Cager.
