It’s now been 11 years since #Duke has played in a championship game.
Implosion.
The Devils have signed 36 five-stars in that span, more than any program.
Wild to think a Duke freshman was in 2nd grade last time Duke played for a title.
Duke has ZERO NCAA Titles (or Title game appearances) since 2015-16 despite having:
Brandon Ingram
Luke Kennard
Jayson Tatum
Frank Jackson
Marvin Bagley III
Gary Trent Jr.
Trevon Duval
Wendell Carter Jr.
Zion Williamson
RJ Barrett
Cam Reddish
Tre Jones
Vernon Carey Jr.
Jalen Johnson
Paolo Banchero
Mark Williams
Kyle Filipowski
Dereck Lively
Jared McCain
Cooper Flagg
Kon Knueppel
Khaman Maluach
Sion James
Cameron Boozer
UNC is the only Program that has a winning/.500 record vs the field (Blue Bloods):
143-117 vs Duke
25-17 vs Kentucky
7-1 vs UCLA
6-6 vs Kansas

Wow what a new ceiling @UNC_Basketball has when @LeakyBlack is the kind of offensive threat he was last night. Not that he has to hit 3 3’s every night, but just being a big, athletic wing who’s aggressive and looking to attack.
Leaky guarding Agbaji will be a HUGE matchup to watch tomorrow night. Need Leaky to lock him down and take him out of the game like he’s done all year against opposing best guards/wings i.e. AJ Griffin, Juzang/Jaquez, Mayer, Clark, Seabron. #FinalFour#UNCBasketball#BeatKansas
Sochan is a bum, just a dirty player. Maybe wipe that smirk off your face, focus on your game instead of your hair, and quit looking for ways to trip/grapple opposing players, and perhaps you’d keep your eyes open and finish that tip slam. #Heels#Sweet16
