Duke had a bye in the 1st round of the ACC tournament because of violations that occurred in the Bob Wade era. Part of the sanctions included a TV ban and because the entire ACC tournament is televised they were prohibited from participating in the tournament. They also had a post season ban but that does not apply to conference tournaments only the NCAA and NIT(At the time)
@@jaymeU2 ha ha ha UNC might've won the battle that year but Duke would go to win back 2 back national championship basketball titles in 91 & 92 UNC has never accomplished that feat both schools won basketball national championships in the nineties Duke 2 back 2 back UNC 1 national title won it all in 93 at the same place they won all in 82 at the Louisiana Superdome
huskerfan50 You are right. Al McGuire was right too. I don't take the word "fired" literally. Gutheridge was only 62, only coached 3 seasons, and had an impressive winning record. Those are abnormal retirement conditions. Gutheridge left either because it was the plan all along for him to be the temporary coach so a more permanent coach wouldn't have to live under the shadow of Dean Smith or Gutheridge left because even though his team reached the Final Four, UNC had had a poor regular season and the handwriting was on the wall that the next few years were going to be brutal. Heck, Gutheridge could have been forced out for reasons that never became public and they let him save face by retiring, we will never know. Al McGuire was smart enough to know that Dean Smith's replacement could be a winning coach, so the fact that a winning coach only lasted 3 years like McGuire said means he was right.
Their 1991 ACC Tournament final- Duke/UNC III in 1991- is still the only time CBS has ever broadcast the ACC Tourney in any capacity
even though I am a UNC fan, I really did like Duke's road uniforms back then.
good ole days...no drama...

Did Laettner kick Sullivan? 1:15:00
I forgot just how much of a cry baby Bobby Hurley really was. Man! haha
UNC owns a better record over Duke, and Duke winning is over half of all the videos on you're channel...can you add more UNC wins?
Coach K has a winning record against Carolina (47-44).
Bobby Hurley was an American Sports Rolemodel while @ DUKE UNIVERSITY....He was who any white basketball players wish that they could be!!!!!!!
UNC would destroy Duke in the ACC tournament final a week after this game.
And Duke won the National Championship a month after this game.
And then Duke won the natty hahaha

Al McGuire was right. 16:40
Zipporah Thecushite Bill Guthridge was not fired he retired also after coaching the team for three years. So no Al McGuire was wrong.
