Game over. UNC wins tourney the next day and goes on to win national championship.
I seethe with hatred like a red hot sun as I walk out of the Charlotte Coliseum and see jubilant Tarhole fans. It was the worst loss I've ever seen in person.

UNC didn't win the 1994 national championship. They won it in 1993 but were upset by BC in the second round in 1994
 
But I hate Dante Calabria to this day because of that game and I had flashbacks in 1995 when Lance Pendry (or Pence Landry, whatever the hell his name was) almost did the same thing.

I got to coach against Rusty in summer ball early in my career. I was still a little in fanboi mode

because I'm can't help myself I went back and watched the UNC/ Wake game in question on youtube. It was actually 1994- Duncan's Freshmen year and UNC ended up winning the national championship that year. Duke was the number one seed but had been upset by Virginia earlier in the day so the winner of the Wake/UNC matchup would be favored in the final. Wake played tough all long and Childress was his usual badass self and scored 31 with 9 assists. The play that was mentioned earlier involving Scooter Banks and Calabria went like this. 3:30 left in the game, Wake up by 6 and gets a fast break with Scooter Banks. Calabria has no play and just grabs Bank's shorts and pulls on them and Banks misses layup as a result. UNC grabs rebound and immediately hits a 3 pointer. So what should have been a 8 point lead instead was just 3. teams trade baskets and there is an awful out of bounds call that goes in UNC's favor that was just ridiculous. Finally, 16 seconds left with Wake up 3 , UNC has the ball. Odom decides to foul right away which seems curious to me but whatever. Derrick Phelps hits first to cut lead to 2, then misses second and ball bounces around and ends up in Calabria's hands with about 6 seconds left and he takes it to the rim. Duncan is about to block his shot shot so Calabria just kind of double clutches and scoops it from his hip and it somehow goes it to tie the game. Childress gets inbound with about 3 seconds left and gets a good look for a 3 pointer that looks perfect but rims out. Overtime. UNC goes ahead early and refs make a horrible no call foul where Montross bodies up Blucas and hurts him but no call. Larue comes in for Blucas. UNC misses layup and Vitale and Dan Patrick scream for a foul to be called. Wake down 3 with 30 seconds left and Larue is open for a three and hits it. Tied up with 25 seconds left. UNC runs down clock and then runs a nice little screen down low to free Stackhouse and he scores with three seconds left. Childress gets inbound and races to the exact same spot that he missed from at end of regulation, goes up for a good look and ...it rims out again. Game over. UNC wins tourney the next day and goes on to win national championship.

Actually spoke to Blucas about that call, said he had a limp for several days following......such a UNC gifted win.

Doesn’t seem like a good shtick to appeal to a small genteel fanbase.

I don't disagree. IIRC, I had no idea who he was back when he was acting similarly here and it appears from Twitter not much has changed.
 
Hat's off to Dante purely on his career scoring numbers of Tobacco Road coeds. Legend.
