10/18/2021 12:29:00 PM | Men's Basketball
DURHAM – The Duke men's basketball team is ranked No. 9 in the Associated Press preseason poll released Monday, marking the 14th consecutive season that the Blue Devils made their debut in the top 10.
Duke also extends the nation's longest streak of being ranked in the top 10 at any point in a season to 26 consecutive years. The next closest program is Kansas, which has held a top-10 ranking at some point in each of the last 16 seasons.
Entering the 2021-22 campaign, the Blue Devils have been in the AP top 10 for 1,064 of 1,399 (77 percent) games under 42nd-year head coach Mike Krzyzewski. His Duke squads are 872-192 (.820) when playing as a top-10 ranked team.
Duke returns six letterwinners from last season's team and welcomes eight newcomers, including four freshmen that comprise the nation's No. 4-ranked recruiting class.
The Blue Devils host Winston-Salem State in an exhibition at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 30 at 1:30 p.m., on ACCNX. Duke tips off the regular season versus Kentucky on Tuesday, Nov. 9 at Madison Square Garden in the State Farm Champions Classic on ESPN.
