I loved both shots equally. It was one of the most enjoyable games I've watched ever, but one of the worst days ever because I was watching it sick. Before the game I was throwing up all day to the point of dry heaves. I also had a fever and a really bad headache. So you can imagine how you feel being sick and upset that we were getting dominated for 3/4 of the game.
Then the run came which upped the excitement level, that in turn caused the heart rate to increase adding to the headache. We get the lead and my head feels like it will explode. Then throw in the nervousness worrying if this would be another Laettner moment with Duke having the ball with 5 seconds to go and Avery bringing the ball up. I think with each step he took, my heartbeat increased and the pressure in my head kept building.
Dribble, boom, dribble, boom boom, dribble, boom boom boom, contested halfcourt shot, boom boom boom boom, miss off the backboard, Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom. That lasted for about another five minutes as I was yelling and jumping around until I could finally calm back down. It was probably the most miserable but happiest day of my life up to that point. Finally getting that Blue Devil off my back after 6 years of CBS highlights of "there's the pass to Laettner, puts it up..........yeesssssss" (while every time I relived punching a hole in my wall and yelling nooooooooo). I wouldn't trade that day for anything.
