8 points in 20 seconds to get within 2. And then win the game in OT? And on the road. Unreal. I hated Jason Williams with everything inside of me back then. He was truly great. One of the best college basketball players ever. I hate it that he got hurt in that accident before his pro career ever really got started. Mad respect to that guy.
Thank you--even Duke haters can see real talent--his amazing talent got cut short by bad decisions, and he has now turned his experience into a positive message about that for youngsters--like it or not, that is Coach K talking
To this day Jason Williams (as he was known back then) is the best college basketball player I've ever seen. He was absolutely unbelievable, loved watching him and the teams he was on.
He's a great guy. His mother was the principal of our daughter's elementary school in NJ a few years after the motorcycle accident. He talked to me on the phone and broke my balls when he found out I attended Maryland for three years
I am only a 12 year old girl but I love basketball more than anything else on the face of this planet. I love watching it, playing it, listening to it, everything and I know basketball well for someone of my age. College basketball is a great game to watch. I love Duke. My faveroite team. Love coach K, and Jason Williams and Shane Battier are my two faveroite players of all time. The Miracle Minute was a shocking time in basketball history and me and my best friend still have fun re-enacting it.
I remember this like it was yesterday.....my mother and I had just come home from a high school basketball game and it was snowing....I was lucky enough to watch this epic comeback plus overtime
I've listened to him talk to some kids at a camp last week. He is so well spoken, and is very well educated. He is a champion. He HAS the heart of a Champion. Not had.
Keep in mind duke beat Maryland 4 times that year, including that final four game where duke was down 22 points and wound up winning by 11. This was my favorite sports team ever, what a talented group. So many story lines and magic. There was Jason Williams going in an 18-0 run by himself against ucla in the sweet 16, there was mike dunleavy jr out scoring nc state by himself in the first half of a game.
I had to check out this highlight after reading Jay Williams's book 'Life Is Not An Accident'. What a great read!!! He broke down this miracle minute, it was sweet!!!!
Jason Williams is to this day the best college basketball player I've ever seen. I don't think I will ever love a player as much as him. This comeback is so epic.
What an amazing, amazing game. When we were watching it the first time, we never had any doubt that Duke would win. Send this to all your friends to celebrate its ten-year anniversary today!
These teams lived at the line this game. These two teams combined for 62 free throw attempts in regulation, 36 for Duke and 26 for UMD. For comparison of an ACC game I watched yesterday, UVA and Syracuse shot 29 FTs total. That's insane
ross vandenberg lol oh wow...Thanks for correcting that for me...That's even crazier, because they didn't even foul them during the entire 34 seconds..I agree that was insane...Hope the rest of the tourney has those types of games...
Yes--the "3 Headed Center " that took out UNC at home on their Senior night--loved it---0ld Roy the biscuit boy was stunned along with all his baby blue tar holes--HA
Lol I remember this like it was yesterday. When the buzzer sounded my brother ran upstairs and told my dad what happened and my dad yelled at him acting like he didn't care because he hated duke so much smh. Definitely the greatest last minute of regulation in duke history with my favorite player leading it. It's a shame he got hurt...
I was so pissed off and went to bed with a few minutes left to go. My dad came in the next morning and said “Duke had a big win last night.” I didn’t believe him until I ran and looked at the newspaper. I couldn’t believe it.
I remember this like it was yesterday and it still makes my skin crawl! I've never seen a team completely implode the way Gary's team did that night and probably never will again! Go TERPS!
What's so good about this is, we met them later in the semi finals of the ncaa tourney, and beat the Terps again. Then went on to win it all. #Dukenation
Not just Duke that had a great team, this was just a game full of greatness. Lets not forget who else is out there: Steve Blake, Chris Wilcox, Juan Dixon, Dahntay Jones ... so much NBA talent.
Every time I think of this game I'm reminded of being at a friend's house at the time. He was not at all interested in sports of any kind, and never watched them. We were watching a movie on TV, and I switched channels to the MD/Duke game while he ran to the bathroom. When he came back it was 90 to 80 MD with just over a minute left. I had to damn near beg him to let me watch the end of the game, but he did. He and I were able to say for years after that that we watched the "Miracle Minute" live".
Yeah but you have to force at least three very quick turnovers, or foul and hope that your opponent misses all of their free throws, or some combination of those two. That's almost impossible, especially against good teams.
Williams also go into a motorcycle accident in June of 2003, he played for one season for the Bulls. That is why they were better, because they lasted longer in the NBA. He had a triple-double against the NJ Nets in his rookie season. He had signs of promise, he had amazing composure in late game moments, that isn't something you loose in transition between college and the pros. Let's give Williams a break and admit he would have been great.
Oh, is this the one from The Bear? I also watched Duke vs NC State with Steph Curry. This one is Jason Williams, and he's got one with Kobe too? Must be the greatest coach ever.
I was in the 10th row in the student section. This one hurt. It hurt almost as much as the lead they would blow in the Final Four to Duke a couple months later.
Jason Williams is the best college basketball player I've ever seen. It's an absolute tragedy that we never got to see him play in the NBA, because we would be calling Chris Paul the second coming of Jay Williams.
Im a UNC fan, so by association I hate Dook, but I must say, this Duke team was great and this comeback was just awesome. It almost reminds me of UNC's comeback against Duke in '74. Imagine if UNC was this good back in 01. Wouldve been a hell of a game. Go Heels!
sheesh... I love this team too, but I believe the 91-92 & 85-86 teams were the greatest under K. This team still has greatness lingering around... coaches, NBA players, game analysts... you name it... this (still) is a wonderful group.
I was so at this game, sitting behind the DUKE bench. People were throwing things at their bench, i was very disappointed to see a few of my friends involved in this. I was so mad after this game but, my Terps got them back in 02, winning it all !!!!!
Jason Williams; what a great college PG. One of only two Duke players that I really liked. Although, Kyrie Ervings rising too but I dont think he"ll stay long enough to make an impression on me. Also, I watched this game live and remember his dominance.
God Bless you bro. I like Duke and obviously cant like UNC being I like Duke BUT I like basketball first and foremost and its good to see your respectful comments. The 2001 Duke team vs 2005 UNC or 2009 UNC would be fun games. Coach K and Coach Roy are both awesome coaches. Duke/UNC always fun games man and back from like ACC birth until 2002 Duke-MD, UNC-MD, Duke-Wake, UNC-Wake were fun but the realignments of conferences is messing that up man :(
Wow, a lot of good NBA players on the court at once, I counted at least 8, not sure if Mouton made it or not. Anyway, I always take for granted what great caliber of basketball is played on any given night at the college level. Got to watch this live!
this goes to show you that theres a reason the level of play from college to the NBA is drastically different. NO ONE on either of these teams is even top 20 all-time NBA and they were considered to be one the best college teams of all time.
never fear this was topped this year by my own beloved University of Virginia Cavaliers blowing a 10 point lead against Miami in the ACC tournament with under 40 seconds to play....some mathematician even had a formula that said our collapse was statistically impossible...We proved him wrong in blowing that game!
Play that has been forgotten in this game, Maryland's last shot in the 1st half is no good. However, the shot didn't hit the rim and instead of Maryland running the clock to halftime, Duke got the ball with 1.4 seconds. Jason Williams hits a layup at the buzzer. It may or may not been a difference maker in this game.
8 points in 20 seconds to get within 2. And then win the game in OT? And on the road. Unreal. I hated Jason Williams with everything inside of me back then. He was truly great.

moral of the story....make your DAMN freethrows.
+Jacob Ibarra Second moral of the story... take care of the DAMN ball.
And never give up
And don't chant overrated, until the game is over lol
at age 9, the Duke players were like demi-gods to me and my friends
When the commentator said "They need a miracle" That's when shit got real! What a great game instant classic!
the shit got real when the um fans started chanting overrated
Facts!!
Proof that it ain't over till it's over. Always got to believe whether you win or not.
jay will was one of the best college players ever..wish he would have made it in the nba....
He made it, but wrapped his motorcycle around a telephone poll. Fractured his pelvis. Sad story.
@@Deeplycloseted435 very sad
He got drafted by the Bulls but only played a few games until that motorcycle accident happened
wish he would of converted that FT after being fouled on the three point shot against IU in 2002 Sweet 16. Would of been back to back in 2002.
These 2 teams had some Amazing battles during these few years

Bro same LMAOOOO
That duke team was loaded
Absolutely--and those maryland troll fans deserved to get handed this slap--HAHA
Jesse Hargrove And they shot the full load in 60 seconds and overtime.
Damn I remember this game. Only 14 years old. Jay Williams was a baller. Wish we could’ve seen his NBA career blossom.
I walked away from the TV thinking my Terps won. The next day my dad told me Duke came back. I couldn't believe it 😕
and Dunleavy this was my favorite college basketball team to watch ever. Jason Williams was electric that year
i remember when they lost the audio feed, i almost cried. absolutely incredible
The quality of this video needs a miracle
This was simply jaw dropping amazing.
J. Williams best moment ever as a basketball player.
Every time I watch this video I am reminded that J-Will was unreal.
I remember this like it was yesterday.....my mother and I had just come home from a high school basketball game and it was snowing....I was lucky enough to watch this epic comeback plus overtime
February 12, 2019...Duke comes back from being down by 23 points. Ah good stuff!
Yep, I had to rewatch this historic comeback!
This is still better. A lot of the younger heads don't understand those UMD Duke games

@@TheLordoftheRavens And Duke was able to get both to happen: Force turnovers and have Maryland miss their free throws.

this game is the reason i want to become a announcer for college basketball. AMAZING!!
gawd i remember this game. Was a fawked up lost but i remebmered enjoying the intensity of watching this game. definitely top 5 college game.

Big fan of The Bear too 🐻
Jayson Williams, but yeah. Came to rewatch this bc of Sydney too 😂
Jason Williams is probably the greatest to never do it. If he didn't get injured he probably would have been a Hall of Famers
He's good but I don't know about Hall of Fame.
globalicon2012 How sir?
I was just thinking that. What a lineup. Nate James too!
Hes in my top 5 of all time favorite college players
this was when Duke had great players
Shane Battier, Chris Duhon, Mike Dunleavy Jr., Carlos Boozer, and of course...Jay (then Jason) Williams. SUCH a stacked team.
And Chris Duhon! That team was loaded.
love me some blue devils. ready to see what they got this year!
Nevada at New Mexico last night!! Nevada was down 90-76 with 1:02 left.
2001 Duke vs Maryland was one of the best rivalries I ever seen I put it up there with red Sox’s Yankees before the red Sox’s won the championship
Every time Brad says "Incredible" take a drink.
One of the best plays ever in the game of basketball.
You know it's a good Duke team when you recognize 4 or 5 guys' faces when they huddle up on the sideline........and most made it to the NBA.
I recently met Jay Williams in person and played with him and he is still very good. He said he might be making a comeback into the NBA
still the best moment of any sport. still shocked at this comeback!
It's pretty fucking sad when this year's UNC team made me even root for Dook over them.
I think Tylar just started crying again.

This still amazes me...
the good ol days when the quality of college bball was amazing
I was at that game sitting in the first row behind the TV broadcasters facing the center of the court.
Hell yes. This game always makes me happy...
Great memory. There were 4 classic games between Duke and Maryland that year.
Gary Williams very underated should be in the Hall of fame
He's already in the Hall of Fame.
Duke point guards are blessed in college and cursed in the NBA. Jay Williams and Bobby Hurley could have been so good, but injuries f-d it all up.
