There's been a ton of them so I expect a lot of answers here. Of course there's been the buzzer beaters and blow outs. There's been moments that have brought me to tears. There's been moments that have brought me out of my chair and that's rare because I usually watch the game by myself and that's good because I find it easier in my later years to sit peacefully and try to not get to excited. But with that said my heart is usually in my throat especially if the game is tight. Please remember to post CAMERON MOMENTS with the only exception being natty games. I have 3.
1. Gene Banks and Kenny Dennard's senior day. I wish all of you could have seen it and I wish I had been there in person. It was Coach K's 1st win over dean and unc. Banks and Dennard were freshman together and I don't think there has been a better friendship between team mates as those two were. The students held up signs that said "Dennard and Banks, so long and thanks." I teared up and when Gene ran around the court passing out roses to the fans I just cried like a baby because I knew how much they meant to the program.
2. Marshall's 3 pointer. Didn't mean a thing as far as how the game came out but it was the only 3 pointer he ever attempted . My friend who was there and has been a season ticket holder for 20 plus years said Cameron was the loudest he had ever heard when Marshall made that shot. The smile on Marshall's face said it all. He still holds the record at 1000 per cent of 3 pointers at Duke which can only be tied, never broken. My mine crush on Marshall grew that night.
3. This one happened out of Cameron but it was a natty. 2010 . My son was living in Idaho at the time and with about a minute or so to go in the game he called me so we could sort of watch the games final moments together. For some reason the broadcast was about 2 seconds quicker in Idaho and when the final shot was taken and the ball in the air looking like it had a good chance of going in my son yelled "yes" about midway through flight. It was just a couple of seconds but my heart was in my throat and my heart had enough time to drop back down to it's proper place when the ball hit the rim and bounced off.
