No duo comes close in my view. I'll throw one out for all the old timers like me. Terry Douglas and Billy Mann (beat Syracuse at Scope) were pretty good.

Twardzik will forever be at the top of my list at guard but for a tandem Purnell and Caruthers pretty much dominated every other set of guards they faced. They would be the best duo I can recall.
Not going away to some of you basketball guru types who go back far enough at least comment on Purnell - Caruthers. I am just a fan when it comes to b-ball but I really cannot think of any other tandem that always dominated the opposition like they did.

I think Douglass was earlier. Bobby Vaughan was the other guard (along with Mann) on the team that beat Syracuse at Scope in 1980; he hit the game winning basket at the buzzer.
