Duke vs. UNC Basketball 1961

Feb. 4, 1961. UNC’s Larry Brown and Duke star Art Heyman get into a fight after Brown is fouled hard by Heyman while driving for a lay-up. Duke wins 81-77, but loses Heyman to a suspension for fighting. Many credit this game as starting the “heat” in the rivalry.

The Duke University Archives preserves 16mm film and videotape created by the coaching staffs of the Duke football and men’s basketball programs. This site contains descriptions of the film and videotape shot, whether an access copy exists, and in some cases, the physical condition of the original film. Football films and video cover the period of 1935 to 1994 and Men’s Basketball film covers the period of 1947 to 1996. It is important to note that the films document the play of the teams and were created as tools for study and training, not for broadcast. Some films were cut and spliced, so the footage may not show the complete game or be in the order the game was played. Also not every game was filmed and there are numerous gaps in the coverage of the film.

Is that what started the rivalry? I think the Heyman and Brown conflict started the rivalry.
