I looked it up right after I posted my guess, unfortunately. So I guess that eliminates me :)

Thx Sky...love the thread...It reaches back to some of the downer years, but nonetheless was a really exciting time in Duke Hoops History...Bill Foster was in his 2nd year at Duke, 1975-'76 IIRC and Tate Armstrong was ALL-WORLD for us!!!

In the opening game of the ACC Tourney in Landover Md we played the Terps on Thursday afternoon... (I was dialed into via transistor radio from NC.)We pretty much controlled the game the entire way, until we missed how many free throws in the final 13 seconds??? On the final miss, George Moses fouled a Terp who hit 2 FTs to send game into overtime.They went onto win the game-Armstrong missed prayer at end...

Who hit the Md FTs to force OT?

Who won the tournament, who ironically defeated Maryland in semis??

In the 1979 game between our Devils and UNC at Cameron, Duke led 7-0 at half.

How many shots did UNC take in the first half, and what phrase would describe the shot (s)?

You're half right, in more ways than one harttochesson!

Edited to say:

I'll give it to you because one was actually a half court heave at the buzzer.

Go ahead with your next question.

Seems like it may have been Dennard but I'm just not sure.

I'll say Dennard with a hangover, lol, nah not a hangover, maybe a strained knee?

Good guess- he later did miss the infamous Black Sunday loss in NCAA's w/St John's due to injury....Bob Bender (emergency appendectomy)missed the ACC Final, and we missed him losing by around six or so I think..

Should have left it on the table, but Buckin' was so close w/Dennard! Of course while the Devils lost the '79 ACC TITLE GAME, they won it in both '78 and '80....

What was unique about the '78 final broadcast???

'76 was in Md...Back to Greensboro for while after Sky....Has to do with the telecast not by the ACC Network....(hint)

Well what I saw isn't it neither. There was a day break between the semi finals and championship instead of 3 consecutive days. I'll have to re check it though. OFC
