Duke Blue Devils x Legacy Collection
19nine’s Legacy Collection dives inside the archives to bring back some college basketball classics. Like the originals, we crafted each Legacy pair of retro shorts with the materials and details to honor the original designs. It was a labor of love in our pursuit to provide an era specific keepsake that celebrates the most iconic styles in college basketball history.
'94 Duke Legacy
After a one-year hiatus from the Final Four, Mike Krzyzewski's 1993-1994 Duke Blue Devils were ready to reclaim their spot amongst college basketball's elite.
The '94 team was led by Grant Hill, who was an All-American averaging 17 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assist.
Supported by Jeff Capel, Antonio Lang and Cherokee Parks Duke won the ACC regular season title.
Once in the NCAA Tournament Duke used tough defense to smother its opponents. Wins over Texas Southern and Michigan State put the Blue Devils in the Sweet 16.
After beating Marquette 59-49 to reach the Elite 8, Duke faced off with 1-seed Purdue and National Player of the Year Glenn Robinson. It was Duke and their superstar Hill that owned the night. Robinson went 6-for-22, and the Blue Devils won 69-60.
In Charlotte, Duke found itself down 7 at half before Hill took over. He finished with a 25, 6 and 6 to help the Blue Devils win 70-65 and setup a showdown with Arkansas for the National Championship.
With the game tied at 70, Arkansas’ Scotty Thurman made a three-point shot that ended up being the decisive blow in Arkansas’ 76-72 win.For his part, Hill remains one of the greatest players to ever suit up for the Blue Devils.
“He has been a special player and has accomplished what few others have achieved. I am extremely proud of Grant and happy to have seen one of the most outstanding players in the history of the ACC.” -Coach K
