Adapted from Duke University Archives
In 1906, Wilbur Wade Card, Trinity College's Athletic Director and a member of the Class of 1900, introduced the game of basketball to Trinity. The January 30 issue of The Trinity Chronicle headlined the new sport on its front page. Trinity's first game ended in a loss to Wake Forest
, 24–10. The game was played in the Angier B. Duke Gymnasium, later known as The Ark. The Trinity team won its first title in 1920, the state championship, by beating the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering (now NC State) 25 to 24. Earlier in the season they had beaten the University of North Carolina
19–18 in the first match-up between the two schools. Trinity college then became Duke University.
Bill Werber, Class of 1930, became Duke's first All-American in basketball. The Gothic-style West Campus opened that year, with a new gym, later to be named for Coach Card. The Indoor Stadium
opened in 1940. Initially it was referred to as an "Addition" to the gymnasium. Part of its cost was paid for with the proceeds from the Duke football team's appearance in the 1938 Rose Bowl
. In 1972 it would be named for Eddie Cameron
, head coach from 1929 to 1942.
In 1952, Dick Groat
became the first Duke player to be named National Player of the Year. Duke left the Southern Conference
to become a charter member of the Atlantic Coast Conference
in 1953. The Duke team under Vic Bubas
made its first appearance in the Final Four
in 1963, losing 74–71 to Loyola
in the semifinal. The next year, Bubas' team reached the national title game, losing to the Bruins of UCLA
, who claimed 10 titles in the next 12 years.
The basketball program won its 1000th game in 1974, making Duke only the eighth school in NCAA history to reach that figure. In a turnaround, Coach Bill Foster
's 1978 Blue Devils, who had gone 2–10 in the ACC the previous year, won the conference tournament and went on to the NCAA championship game, where they fell to Kentucky
. Mike Gminski ('80) and Jim Spanarkel ('79) ran the floor.

Duke upset the heavily favored UNLV Runnin' Rebels
79–77 in the Final Four in 1991, a rematch of the 1990 final. The team, led by Christian Laettner
, Bobby Hurley
, Grant Hill
, and Thomas Hill went on to defeat Kansas 72–65 to win the university's first NCAA Championship. Ranked #1 all season and favored to repeat as national champions in 1992, Duke took part in a game "acclaimed by many [as] the greatest college basketball game ever played," according to ESPN
. In the Elite Eight, Duke met the Rick Pitino
-led Kentucky Wildcats. It appeared Kentucky had sealed the win in overtime when guard Sean Woods hit a running shot off the glass in the lane to put Kentucky up by one with 2.1 seconds left on the clock. After a timeout, Duke's Grant Hill threw a full-court pass to Christian Laettner. Laettner took a dribble and nailed a turn-around jumper at the buzzer to send Duke into the Final Four with a 104–103 victory. To the Duke faithful, this play will forever be known as "The Shot." The shot was named the most memorable basketball shot of all-time (including the NBA
, college, and high school) by the Best Damn Sports Show Period in 2007 and the fifth most unforgettable sports moment of all-time across all sports in 2006. Duke went on to defeat the Sixth-seeded Michigan
71–51 to claim its second NCAA Championship. Duke defeated Arizona 82–72 to win its third NCAA Championship in 2001, becoming one of a handful of teams in NCAA Tournament history to defeat all of their tournament opponents by double digits. Krzyzewski was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame
later that year. On April 5, 2010 Duke Men's Basketball won their fourth NCAA Championship by defeating Butler 61–59.
Duke has been ranked as the #1 team in the nation 235 weeks in their history. That is as many as Michigan State, Syracuse, UConn, Louisville, Ohio State, NC State, Arkansas, Georgetown, Maryland, Florida, Marquette, Villanova, and California combined. These thirteen programs have been to 63 Final Fours (2 vacated) and 17 National Titles.

NCAA Tournament
The NCAA
began seeding the tournament with the 1979 edition
.
Cameron Indoor Stadium was completed on January 6, 1940, having cost $400,000. At the time, it was the largest gymnasium in the country south of the Palestra
at the University of Pennsylvania
. Originally called Duke Indoor Stadium, it was renamed for Coach Cameron on January 22, 1972. The building originally included seating for 8,800, though standing room was sufficient to ensure that 12,000 could fit in on a particularly busy day. Then, as now, Duke students were allowed a large chunk of the seats, including those directly alongside the court. Renovations in 1987–1988 removed the standing room areas and added seats, bringing capacity to 9,314.
Duke's men's basketball teams have had a decided home-court advantage for many years, thanks to the diehard students known as the Cameron Crazies
. The hardwood floor has been dedicated and renamed Coach K Court in honor of head coach Mike Krzyzewski, and the tent city outside Cameron where students camp out before big games is what is known as Krzyzewskiville
. In 1999, Sports Illustrated
ranked Cameron the fourth best venue in all of professional and college sports, and USA Today
referred to it as "the toughest road game in the nation". Today, it continues to be one of the toughest arenas to play in, evidenced by Duke's current 39 game win streak it currently has.

. Originally called Duke Indoor Stadium, it was renamed for Coach Cameron on January 22, 1972. The building originally included seating for 8,800, though standing room was sufficient to ensure that 12,000 could fit in on a particularly busy day. Then, as now, Duke students were allowed a large chunk of the seats, including those directly alongside the court. Renovations in 1987–1988 removed the standing room areas and added seats, bringing capacity to 9,314.
