The 1969 game was my freshman year. It snowed six or eight inches that day and Janis Joplin finished the day off with a concert that night.
Good times.
One of the many neat things about that game was the performance of Steve Vandenberg. He was a senior; final home game and all that.
Vandenberg had averaged 12 and 8 the previous season. With Mike Lewis having graduated, many thought he would develop into an All-ACC caliber player, maybe All-America.
Instead, he had a miserable season, losing his starting spot to Fred Lind and Rick Katherman.
He was averaging about 7 ppg going into that game. Bubas played a hunch and started him instead of Katherman.
Vandenberg responded with what might be the best Senior Day game in Duke history, 33 points (10-14 from the field, 13-13 from the line), with 12 rebounds, as Duke pulled off the upset.
He continued to play well in the ACC Tournament, 53 points in three games, as Duke almost pulled off what would have been a most satisfying championship.
Speaking of West,
