Former Duke basketball champ makes history, no matter what comes next

Kenny Blakeney was far from a Duke basketball star (3.2 points per game). Yet the guard from Washington, D.C., was on some great squads. After redshirting the 1990-91 championship campaign, he played in 29 games for a 1991-92 team that finished 34-2 and again cut down April nets. Three years later, following a Final Four in 1994, the 6-foot-4 senior was a captain, albeit for the losingest Blue Devils in history.
