You get warm fuzzies over a lot of things: Laettner's Shot (take your pick actually), five national championships, Austin River's Killer Three against UNC and, never to be forgotten Gone In 54 Seconds.

That was the game in College Park when Duke made up 10 points in less than a minute and stole a game Maryland seemed to have locked up.
