There were no offshore books at this time and no lines in Vegas so only street bookies had lines on it...I think that number was in the ballpark...I do remember betting 1k on Duke and having no hope before the first half was done.
The next year I believe was the famous Webber timeout when the whole country laid 4,4.5,5,5.5 with Carolina and had no chance of covering until Webber did that
