Yep....that's all five starters. I don't think I've ever seen that in my lifetime. Amazing.

svpstyle.blogspot.com 2/18/2008 — Maybe it's just me, but I vividly remember games against Maryland, Carolina and Michigan State in which the Blue Devils cried like a collection of runners-up in Miss America.
