Coach Mike Krzyzewski in his own words on what was said in the huddle with 2.1 seconds left in one of the greatest games in college basketball history -

I met my team, and I told them, "We're going to win," and I looked into their eyes. Then, when they sat on the bench, I looked at them again, I said, "We are going to win." I felt we were connected. Then I asked Grant Hill -- instead of telling him what to do -- I asked Grant, "Can you throw the ball 75 feet?" And he said, "Yes, I'll throw it." And by saying it already, I think he had already done it. In fact, I think if you had interviewed him now, he would say that, "Well, I gave my word that I was going to do it." But if I said, "Grant, you throw it," it would have been me telling him to do something. I asked Christian Laettner, "If they ring you up, can you catch it?" He says, "Coach, if Grant throws it, I'll catch it." All of a sudden, there was that -- some people would call that bravado, or cocky talk, but we had gone from walking off the court scattered, mentally and physically, to now, a minute and a half later, to believing that we were going to win.

I'll never forget where I was when Christian Laettner hit the shot versus Kentucky that allowed the Blue Devils a trip to the Final Four.  Duke would later become back to back National Champions.

As the shot went through at the buzzer, I soared in the air, then dropped face first to the floor, sitting there for several seconds ... speechless ... knowing I had seen something special.  I turned to fellow fans in the room, unable to talk as I watched Thomas Hill, hands on head in amazement.  I thanked God for witnessing such a game which felt like a spiritual experience.  It was a natural high that lasted well into the evening.  It was a special game with special players and a very special coach named Mike Kyzyzewski motivated his team in a way that will be remembered forever.
