2009-10

35-5

Good, Not Great — Then Great. Four years of scars. VCU. West Virginia. Villanova. Five players who had been through all of it return and refuse to let the story end the same way. K calls them “good, not great.” They prove him wrong in the most beautiful way possible. Zoubek grabs the rebound. Hayward’s half-court shot hits the backboard, hits the rim, and bounces out. Duke wins its fourth national championship. The climb is over.
