On any ordinary Monday morning in 1992, then-North Carolina Senator and former President of Duke University Terry Sanford began his week attending to the public’s business.\u00a0 However, this particular Monday in March happened to be the day after Selection Sunday and, like so many of us, Senator Sanford contemplated his blank NCAA Men\u2019s Basketball Tournament bracket at the expense of perhaps more pressing work.<\/p>\n

Among the hundreds of linear feet<\/a> of Terry Sanford\u2019s records and papers held in the RBMSCL (his senatorial papers<\/a>) and University Archives (records from his Duke presidency<\/a>) is his 1992 NCAA Tournament bracket.\u00a0 Although he couldn\u2019t have foreseen Christian Laettner\u2019s last second turnaround jumper against Kentucky and Duke’s trouncing of Michigan’s “Fab-5” in the tournament final, the man that the Duke Student body fondly referred to as “Uncle Terry” chose Duke to repeat as NCAA champions.\u00a0 Will they do it again in 2011?<\/p>\n
