- Thomas Hill drives into the paint in the closing seconds of the game: creating a high percentage shot, drawing the help and giving Christian Laettner room to crash the boards. After Laettner made his free throws, U.N.L.V. could only force a long Anderson Hunt shot as time expired,

Laettner had ice water in his veins
Bobby Hurley was tuff as 1 $ steak ! I remember this game like yesterday!!! Go Duke 2023 will be the year .
there is an interview with after the game where the interviewer is trying to ask him how he feels...he literally just responds with "we got one more...I feel great...we've got one more"
Coach K tells his players to calm down after beating undefeated UNLV in a national semi-final. Just like a coach would do today, right? Hahahaha.
He had to get his players focused on Kansas.
The ending slays me. UNLV calls time out and comes out with THAT set? Like TARK could coach a defense but could not draw up one play knowing his personnel to make them succeed. I understand Greg Anthony had fouled out but honestly UNLV was checkmated when LJ had the ball and Laettner fronted him. It's like they had no plan B if LJ didn't have a shot.
Those UNLV teams were awesome to see back in the day …one of my favorite teams all time, college or pro. Still shocked they lost, but in retrospect, Duke had the best player on the floor in Grant Hill … we just didn’t wanna believe it.
You think Hill better then LJ?
@@blessedvirginmaryisqueen8448 that’s a great question … loved Larry Johnson at UNLV. Larry had more time at the college level than Grant, Grant was just a freshman. LJ was a dominant PF, but Grant was special. I didn’t know it at the time, but he might have been able to uplift his average teammates’ games as well, like how many great players are able to do. Grant Hill got hurt in in his final years with the Pistons. But his game when he was healthy was MVP like with Detroit. LJ got hurt too, became a shadow of his former self.
@@SergioFernandez-cj4mt Who had better career in NBA, LJ or Grant Hill? I could look it up but you might know right away!
@@blessedvirginmaryisqueen8448 both had great start to their careers, and both got injured and were shells of their former selves. I would call it a wash. And the New York version of LJ was not the LJ from UNLV and Charlotte Hornets. Same thing can be said about Grant Hill and his Orlando days.
@@SergioFernandez-cj4mt I see....
I miss watching how competitive my UNLV Rebels used to be, when I look at old footage of our ‘90 National Championship, and the past dominance in the Big West Conference, it’s depressing to see how far this College Program has fallen since the Late Jerry Tarkanian was removed from UNLV as our Head Coach.
Larry Johnson was scared! Absolutely no aggression on that last play! Smdh
yeah wtf was that? looked like lebron out there
It aint real man... he was the first pick in the draft and got paid.
Yeah he had a good look at a three and passed it up. He learned his lesson and took it for the Knicks for the 4 point play. :)
Biggest upset in Final Four history
I'm Vegas born and raised and was so upset when this happened. They hadn't had a close game all year, and I think LJ didn't know what to do. He was worried about the clock, and if he drove could he get a good shot up in time to win the game, is shooting the 3 the better option? People say he passed up on that, but even if you're a good 3 pointer shooter (which LJ wasn't ge was an inside power player) hitting a game winning 3vis not easy. You're way out there. I remember reading an article some years back where Larry said he blames himself for not taking the shot. If he missed he would be okay with it, at least he would know, and at least he wouldn't have been afraid. Like I said though, LJ didn't know what to do, and I heard it was because they're point guard/leader wasn't in the game; Greg Anthony. Also, like with Webber, LJ had no business brining the ball up, if Anthony's in the game that doesn't happen and maybe LJ has a post up opportunity. Great game plan by Duke.
What a weak foul call. In the final seconds of a tie game in the final four....in 1991?! That's a pretty weak foul call today, but in the 90's when much more contact was allowed? Way to decide the game ref.
you wanna see a weak foul watch michigans guard fouled vs seton hall to decide the game, in fact i dont think it was a foul at all against rumeal robinson for michigan. but laettner was still fouled here
CL made the shot after the foul anyways , free throws were on the table, Larry Johnson froze giving his team no chance at the end.
ok but Laettner still made a shot afterwards
Greatest NCAA game ever UNLV Duke
I'd go Duke-Kentucky the next season myself. Start to finish was intense and the Laettner shot to end it. He went 10-10 from the field and 10-10 from the line.
Naaa Duke vs Kentucky 1992
I was grounded and had to miss Duke-Kentucky. The idea that this game was better soothes me somewhat, even if know that Duke-Kentucky was way better.
Dude it was Fixed. It was proven Anderson Hunt, Moses scurry, and George akles threw it cause they weren't going to NBA. Worst game in history. 1990 was greatest game in history
@dwg1235 Grow up. A blind man could have predicted this one. I did and won a crap ton of money.
UNLV tried to shave points, got burned.
Looking back man Larry Johnson looked like a rookie who never should have been on the floor let alone have the ball. Lol 😂
Huge upset!
This game taught me basketball was not real at all.
If no foul on grey ,CL makes shot, same scenario,gutless LJ gives no- chance for his teammates!!!
To this day that was not a foul
This game was fixed all the way they call foul where
Wtf did that ref see??? ESPECIALLY after Laettner blantantly pushed Larry Johnson.. Duke been gitn Love for 30+ years i see!!!
Why did LJ stop? He takes the ball straight up court and has one man to beat and he hesitates and dishes out to Hunt? Makes no sense. He could’ve dunked it easy!
I think he wanted to avoid overtime. With Greg Anthony having fouled out, their offense wasn't nearly the same.
NCAA always hated UNLV and they couldn't let golden boy Coach K lose to them.. Great season by UNLV
HMMMMM (The REAL CONSPIRACY)......My family was cheering for DUKE!!! *SO im no HATER!!
Look at the REPLAY: NO FOUL.....THEY BEEN LYING FOR YEARS. I'm just telling the truth, I'm just saying!!!
And unlv back to who is unlv after this game.
They went 26-2 the following season
@@hideaway7768 that's pretty terrible considering previous seasons tho, especially since they never won the NC again
Most fixed game in history
Can't believe people are still butthurt almost 30 years after getting outplayed 😂
This last possession by UNLV makes no sense...
Greg Anthony, their All-American PG who played many years in the NBA, had fouled out a few minutes before. Vegas played the last few minutes of that game like a chicken with its head cut off. Everything all season had revolved around Anthony, and the Runnin' Rebels had no bench to speak of.
It was fixed game don't you know history. Hunt was part of the fix with scurry and Ackles cause they wanted payday and weren't going to nba
@@dwg1235 Still upset after 30 years is crazy. Just purely out coached.
@@dwg1235 If Hunt was in on the fix, why did he almost make that game winning 3 pointer at the buzzer?
Foul? That wasn’t a foul on CL in the 90s! Today, definitely but then, come on!
Extremely weak call by the refs to send CL to the line especially considering they missed him pushing LJ in the back a split second before to get the rebound
L.J choked
Terrible call on Grey by the ref!
he fouled laettner it was the right call
CL made the shot, either or.
Not taking away from Duke, they were great but I believe UNLV threw this game, beat them by 33 the year before, and that famous photo
I remember my whole family thinking that game was fixed after UNLV lost. We couldnt understand how they lost. They were most dominant college team id ever seen
@@27MOJOKING #1 Hurley was only a freshman when they got dismantled the year before. #2 Grant Hill wasn't on the team the year before, they were a much much better team in this game. #3 Duke went on to repeat the next year, something that hadn't been done since UCLA, so they proved they weren't a joke. And finally to throw the game they would have had to bribe a few star players. Greg Anthony, Larry Johnson, and Stacey Augmon wouldn't have jeopardized their NBA careers by taking a bribe. They were all going to be drafted in the first round.
coach k had a week to prepare for unlv this time instead of one day, more stupidity from duke haters,duke lost by 30 not 33 and duke repeating the next year proved how good duke was, duke could have easily gone undefeated the next season too only losing two games both on the road and both by 1 basket
Proven it was blown by Ackles, hunt, ecurry
@@dwg1235 duke repeating the next year proves you wrong, just more lies from losers who can't except duke was better qand coach tark got outcoached
Thats poor execution...sorry UNLV..You call time out..12.7 secs left...LJ shouldve taken it to the hoop or call a play to shoot at 7 secs...like WTF....
In their defense, their All American point guard, Greg Anthony fouled out a few minutes before and never really played a close game all year. That's all Tark's fault for not preparing them better.
This game was fixed. Someone made a lot of money
I've been saying that for 30 years.
the fact duke almost went undefeated the next season and won again proves it wasnt fixed, just sour grapes from 2 losers here
I wouldn't be too shocked if that happened. I can't say for sure, but.... I've wondered. UNLV was SO darn good, and not the most scrupulous gang in the world, so....???
Then again, Duke was a good team. Too...
@@janspup6232 You need to rewatch the game. UNLV made so many mistakes, and Grant Hill made all the difference for Duke.
Sure bud. Maybe dude just out played them. They got revenge for getting destroyed the year before. Duke had a stacked roster too you know.
Unlv got robbed. Remind me lakers vs king.
They robbed themself with that awful play call, just got out coached.
