This marked the end of an era. Between 1986 and 1994, Duke under Coach K made 6 Final Fours in 8 years. That type of success will never be duplicated again in the Men's game with the extreme parity in today's D-I.

[@bradlewis6514]

That '94 run by Duke is still one of Mike Krzyzewski's single most elite coaching jobs! When u talk about getting the max out of a team, he got it from that team in spades! I'm a die-hard Duke fan (have been since '81-'82) and I'll say this - I'm probably as proud of that squad as I am of their five national champions! Truly, we had no business advancing as far as we did and I don't say that often! '94 Duke was an overachievement! One super world class college player plus a collection! Hill was the best all-around player in the country but Duke's lack of depth ended up showing down the stretch of that final; they we're gassed! But I'll never forget what they gave of themselves and gave a superb Arkansas team a run for it's money

[@bradlewis6514]

No way I could have been disappointed as far as that team went! The oddest and best outcome was the fact that the Tar Holes beat us by double digits both times that season and yet they couldn't even get out of the second round against a much compared inferior opponent whom they took way too lightly in BC! We were a better TEAM than the Tar Holes were in '94 when it mattered though! That's always the sweetest

Need I say more! And Ricky Price never turned into a consistent threat! His lack of improvement set us back too! Even as a senior in '96-'97, he was still like a light switch (off and on)!

Even though Kentucky was running the same press the exact same press as Arkansas was running. Kentucky is a called pressure defense. Nolan Richardson never gets the credit he deserves because of how his career ended up but trust me into the final four Arkansas was considered the underdog because they didn't believe that coach Richardson was on the same level as the other coaches that were in the final four.
