Duke’s ACC Dominance Is Impressive

The ACC’s most enduring domination by one school over another ended last season when Clemson rallied in the late going at Chapel Hill, the Tigers’ own Bermuda Triangle, and won in overtime. (See the Sept. 27, 2020 piece on DBR.) That ended a streak of 59 straight losses dating back to January 1926 in Tar Heel home arenas.

Duke hasn’t been involved in any streak of that duration, but there have been a few notable recent runs. Several arose or were extended over the past decade, which Mike Krzyzewski adjudged his best ever at the school.

Duke is 28-3 combined against lowly Boston College and Wake Forest since 2011.
