In the Elite Eight of the 1992 NCAA Tournament, Duke met the Rick Pitino-led Kentucky Wildcats. It appeared Kentucky had sealed the win when guard Sean Woods hit a running shot off the glass in the lane to put Kentucky up by one with 2.1 seconds left on the clock. After a time-out, Duke's Grant Hill threw a full-court pass to Christian Laettner. Laettner took a dribble and nailed a turn-around jumper at the buzzer to send Duke into the Final Four with a 104-103 victory. To Duke faithfuls, this play will forever be known as "The Shot".
