What better way to kick off March Madness.

For me this is one those “I’ll always remember where I was” sports game moments.

I remember thinking “man” Duke, this team I thought was absolutely going to win the national title with all that talent, is about to lose.

That game was the most painful memory for me as a Kentucky fan growing up. It didn't get erased from my memory until we beat Duke 6 years later in 1998 en route to our 7th National Championship. I still hate Laettner as do all my Kentucky fan friends. He should have been kicked out for stepping on Aminu Timberlakes's chest but of course all he got was a technical foul for that BS.

Can you imagine if Laettner did that chest-stomp today in the world of replay?

I love the I Hate Christian Laettner 30 for 30.

I did enjoy watching those Duke teams from that team all the way up through the Jay Williams era because they were so talented and so fun to bet on because they were never out of games. Some incredible talent in the ACC then.

Its kind of funny how Duke always has a white guy who you just want to punch in the face. Laettner started it but they've had some guys following those teams that people loved to hate like the current Lakers coach JJ Redick and Grayson Allen. Allen more so than Redick for me because he loved to trip people on purpose and the refs never did anything about it.

Have to admit. I hated that finish.
It was epic but I hated it.
