THE OPENING TIP
• Thursday's Sweet 16 matchup between fourth-seeded Duke and top-seeded Oregon will be just the second meeting between the two programs.
• Duke is making its 15th Sweet 16 appearance since 1998, the most in the nation over that time.
• Duke is 9-5 against No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament since seeding began in 1979.
• Duke has the best NCAA Tournament winning percentage in the event's history (.797) and ranks third all-time in NCAA Tournament wins (107).
• Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski has won a record 90 NCAA Tournament games. Only one other active coach (Roy WIlliams) has coached in 90 NCAA Tournament contests.
• Krzyzewski's record 23 Sweet 16 appearances are five more than the next-closest coach on the list (Boeheim - 18).
• Grayson Allen was a first-team All-ACC pick and earned Co-Most Improved Player honors from the coaches. Brandon Ingram was a second-team All-ACC selection and the ACC Freshman of the Year.
• Allen was named a second-team CoSIDA Academic All-American on March 3 and a Sporting News second-team All-American on March 9.
• Allen is on pace to be just the ninth player to lead Duke in both scoring and assists in a season. He could also be the seventh Duke player to average 20+ points and dish out 100 assists in a season.
• Among ACC freshmen this season, Ingram leads in scoring (17.1), three-point percentage (.415), rebounding (6.8) and double-doubles (8), and ranks second in blocks (1.4).
• Ingram's 17.1 points per game is the highest average among freshmen to reach the regional round of the NCAA Tournament.
• Duke's average of 81.5 points per game is the sixth-best among major-conference teams. The Blue Devils rank fourth nationally in offensive efficiency (120.3).
• Duke has made 321 three-pointers, the program's second-best single-season total. Allen (88), Ingram (78) and Matt Jones (74) are the first trio in Duke history to each make 70+ threes in a season.
• Luke Kennard ranks second in the ACC and ninth nationally with an .889 free throw percentage, third-best in Duke history by a freshman.
• Marshall Plumlee has dunked 58 times on the season, tied for the fifth-best single-season total in program history.
