On November 3rd, 1978 Duke lost to instate rival Davidson 49-33. Amazingly, Davidson came back from a 31-4 halftime deficit. This is the fewest number of points ever scored in a half of NCAA men's Basketball. The 45-point second half constituted the highest-scoring half of basketball in Davidson history to that point. (They eclipsed this the next year in a loss to North Carolina State.) Players credited their monstrous second half to aptly-named coach Donald Davidson's fiery rejection of the "big-school" conceptual scheme, then pervasive among small-school players, in a halftime pep talk in the locker room. His speech was not transcribed, but one player marveled afterwards: "it contained a nice derangement of epitaphs."
