Take a look at this writer's take on the greatest Duke NCAA tournament loss of all time.

I remember a guy in my class was a HUGE (bandwagon) duke fan. That game made me very happy

Duke was leading by 4 and LSU was in the midst of a 7½-minute field goal drought.
We called that the John Brady special. They were undoubtedly in a zone.

He's got nothing on the Jones' 10.5 minute stretch to close out the season this year.

can't mention Redick struggling in that game without mentioning GT's defense.

That will forever be my favorite game in any LSU sport.

so apparently, that pic of Redick and Garrett was from a 2013 Slate article about teams that beat Duke. Slate hates Duke.

they interviewed Garrett:

In 2006, No. 4 seed LSU beat No. 1 seed Duke 62-54 in the Sweet 16. The Tigers, who were led that season by Glen “Big Baby” Davis and Tyrus Thomas, won the game in large part due to the defense of freshman Temple, who held J.J. Redick to just 11 points in his final college game. Temple now plays for the Washington Wizards.

When we saw that we were a No. 4 seed, we kind of felt a little disrespected because we won the [SEC] outright that year, and Tennessee, who was behind us, they ended up getting a No. 2 seed. But we knew we were going to have a chance to play Duke if we won our first two games. And we knew we wanted to show the nation what type of team we really are.
I knew I was going to have a chance to guard one of the best shooters in the game. Of course I was really excited about that. [J.J. Redick] ran off screens a lot. [Duke forward] Shelden Williams set a lot of screens for him. His whole team set a lot of screens for him. The offense basically was designed to get him the ball. The toughest thing was just to keep up with him and just continue to put a hand in his face when he lets the ball go and hope he misses it. He missed a few of them, so that was good. In the second half, a few times, he tried to tangle us up on purpose, putting his hand in my jersey and also complaining to the refs and throwing the ball against the pad [underneath the basket]. He never said anything to me, but I could tell he was frustrated.
It’s either love or hate. There’s no in-between with Duke. A lot of guys on my team, coming from where we came from, you just don’t relate to guys from the Duke team. So obviously it was a hate relationship with us, whether we were playing against them or not, or just being fans. You have to have confidence in order to be at the top. They definitely had the confidence. It seemed like once you got past that confidence, that year they were beatable just like anybody else. Once we found that out, we knew what we had to do to win the game.
Somebody tweeted about the game and put up a link to it three months ago. I was bored and actually clicked on it and watched the game. At the end of the game, when Tyrus [Thomas] went the full length of the court and dunked it, that was the dagger. His enthusiasm in that game was incredible.
We shook hands, and I remember Coach K just saying, “Great job, young man. Great job,” to me personally. And J.J. and Shelden shook hands with us. I still see J.J. now, playing against each other [in the NBA]. We definitely talk more than people who haven’t played each other before. I wonder if when J.J. was in Orlando, if him and Glen [Davis] talked about that game at all.

It's good to be acknowledged, but Temple should have been given a mention in the article as to WHY Riddick shot so poorly. Garret frustrated that boy to tears.

Temple is one of the best defensive guards in LSU history and his defense one of the main reason he got a mutli year contract in Washington.

I was there. That was glorious to knock them out.
Posted on 3/26/15 at 5:54 pm to ATLTiger
that was a great night. that final four run, those three weeks or so is up there with the two football titles for sure
i talked to temple about that game when he was in houston, said guarding darrel mitchell in practice was all he needed to get ready for that one

The last 40 seconds of that game had everything for the Duke-hating LSU fan.
Tyrus Thomas dunk & then block.
Tyrus Thomas freak out.
Ben Voogd's "Wow!".
Josh McRoberts about to cry.
John Brady with his head in his hands.

I was there with my dad. He used to (and still does occasionally) randomly call me on the day of or the night before big sporting events and see if I wanted to go. I remember one day in high school he just showed up and checked me out of school to go to NOLA to see the Heat and Hornets play just because he wanted to see Pat Riley coach
TONS of Duke fans there. One was a big smartass to me after the game. I forget what he said but I asked him if we could have his hotel reservation since he wouldn't be needing it. I felt like a badass

Duke's J.J. Redick dabs his eye during his poor performance in the Blue Devils' loss to LSU.

I was there at the Georgia Dome.Seen a lot of great LSU games in person and that's one of the greatest.

I never have been a big fan of basketball, but that is one game that I will always remember....
