THE OPENING TIP
ON THIS DATE
Duke is 24-6 when playing on December 19th and has won 13 of its last 14 on this date…The Blue Devils are undefeated (10-0) in home games on December 19th, last beating Tennessee State, 65-55, in 2016.
Â
DUKE VS. WOFFORD
Duke and Wofford have met just once in the modern era -- an 84-55 Blue Devil win at Cameron Indoor on Dec. 31, 2014, behind 24 points from Jahlil Okafor…The all-time series favors Duke, 6-0, with the first five meetings coming between 1913 and 1936…Wofford's previous head coach, Mike Young, spent 17 years with the Terriers before moving on to become Virginia Tech's head coach this season.
Â
SCOUTING THE TERRIERS
Fresh off a 68-64 win at North Carolina on Sunday, Wofford brings a five-game winning streak to Cameron Indoor…Wofford is led by Storm Murphy's 14.5 points and .545 percent (30-55) from three-point range…As a team, the Terriers make 11.2 three-pointers per game -- ranked fourth in the NCAA. They were 14-of-40 from long range in the win at UNC…First-year head coach Jay McAuley played at Georgia, then spent a decade as an assistant at Wofford, Furman and Gardner-Webb before assuming the reigns of the Terriers this season.
Â
THREE-POINT STREAK
Duke has connected on at least one three-pointer in 1,069 straight games, the third-longest streak in the nation…The last time Duke was held without a three-point field goal was Dec. 30, 1989, versus Hawai'i.
Â
SELLOUT STREAK
Duke has sold out 460 consecutive games at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The last time Duke did not have a sellout at home was on Nov. 16, 1990, against Boston College…The sellout figure is the longest current streak (by time) in either men's college basketball or the NBA.
Â
NCAA'S NET DEBUTS
The NCAA released its first NET rankings of the season this week, with Duke debuting at No. 13…The NET is one of the main evaluation tools used by the NCAA Selection Committee, for which Duke AD Kevin White is the chair of the committee this season…Duke is 4-0 in Quad 1 games -- the only team nationally with four+ Quad 1 wins. Gonzaga, Baylor and Florida State each have three Quad 1 wins.
Â
CAMERON INDOOR STADIUM
Duke has posted an all-time record of 896-162 (.847) at Cameron Indoor, including 538-67 (.889) under Coach K…The Blue Devils have 18 undefeated home seasons, including 11 under Coach K…Duke finished 15-2 last season at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Â
NON-CONFERENCE HOME SUCCESS
Duke has played 302 non-conference home games in the Coach K era with a record of 293-9 (.970)…The program's streak of 150 consecutive non-conference home wins was streak snapped November 26, 2019 versus Stephen F. Austin, 85-83, on a buzzer-beater in overtime…Before that, Duke's last home loss against a non-conference foe was to St. John's, 83-82, on Feb. 26, 2000…Duke's remarkable 150-game streak had featured 89 different opponents with nine ranked in the AP Top 25...None of the 150 games in the winning streak had gone to overtime.
Â
THE SEASON FOR CHARITY
In the month of December, only eight power conference teams are better at the free throw than Duke (26/32; .813)…As a team, the 10-for-10 performance at the line against Virginia Tech marked just the fourth time a Duke team was perfect at the stripe (min. 10 attempts).
Â
CAREY'S DOUBLE-DOUBLES
Freshman Vernon Carey Jr., has seven double-doubles this season, which lead all NCAA freshmen, are second-most in the ACC and third-most nationally…His streak of seven double-doubles, which was snapped at Virginia Tech, was the longest streak by a Blue Devil since seven consecutive from Marvin Bagley III in 2017-18…For Carey, five games have been 20-10 efforts, while each of the seven have been 15-10 games…Carey is one of three players nationally with five games of 20+ points and 10+ rebounds (Luka Garza, Iowa and Nathan Knight, William & Mary)…His streak of seven consecutive games of 15+ points and 10+ rebounds was tied for the third-longest all-time at Duke, and only the second by a player under Coach K…Duke freshmen have recorded 61 of Duke's last 63 games of 15+ points and 10+ rebounds.
Â
DUKE IN THE POLLS
Duke enters the week ranked No. 4 in the AP Poll, extending the nation's second-longest active streak of top-10 appearances to 31 weeks…The Blue Devils have also been ranked in the top 10 at least once in 24 consecutive seasons -- the longest active streak nationally…Duke went wire-to-wire in the AP top 5 last season for the ninth time in school history -- all coming under Coach K…With Duke ranked No. 1 earlier this season, head coach Mike Krzyzewski passed UCLA legend John Wooden for most wins as the coach of a No. 1-ranked team.
