Team history

Early years (1906–1953)

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.Above the Rim: Chronology. {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070705033012www.lib.duke.edu/archives/exhibits/Basketball/chronology.htm |date=July 5, 2007 }} Duke University Archives.

Cameron Indoor Stadium

(File:Cameron Indoor Stadium interior.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Cameron Indoor Stadium, home of the Blue Devils)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.WEB,www.lib.duke.edu/archives/history/eddie_cameron.html, Home, www.lib.duke.edu, March 26, 2018, July 1, 2007,www.lib.duke.edu/archives/history/eddie_cameron.html," title="web.archive.org/web/20070701134749www.lib.duke.edu/archives/history/eddie_cameron.html,">web.archive.org/web/20070701134749www.lib.duke.edu/archives/history/eddie_cameron.html, dead, 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.

Cameron Crazies

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.WEB,goduke.com/sports/2008/2/16/1391403.aspx, Cameron Crazies, Duke Athletics, June 12, 2020, 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 known as Krzyzewskiville.

Rivalries

The Duke–North Carolina rivalry is often ranked among the top rivalries in both college basketball and all North American sports.WEB,www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/03/31/duke-unc-record-rivalry/, The Duke–North Carolina rivalry by the numbers, Greenburg, Neil, March 31, 2022, The Washington Post, April 14, 2024, Entering the 2023 - 2024 season, North Carolina leads the rivalry, winning 141 games to Duke’s 115.WEB,www.charlotteobserver.com/betting/article279642729.html, North Carolina vs. Duke: Biggest College Basketball Rivalry, Caraviello, David, March 25, 2024, The Charlotte Observer, April 14, 2024, The Duke Blue Devils face the North Carolina Tar Heels twice each year during ACC play, with thousands of Duke undergraduate students participating in an annual tradition of camping out in Krzyzewskiville, a lawn in front of Cameron Indoor Stadium, for months to line up for admission into the rivalry game.WEB,today.duke.edu/2016/02/kville30, Thirty Years of Krzyzewskiville, Schoonmaker, Julie, February 25, 2016, Duke Today, Duke University, April 14, 2024, The two teams always face each other for their last game of the regular season, with the home team hosting their Senior Night. Some years, the two teams meet for a third game in the ACC tournament. The teams have met twice in post-season tournament play. In 2022, the two schools met in the Final Four to face each other in the NCAA Tournament for the first time. In that game, the Tar Heels defeated the Blue Devils 81–77. In 1971 the two rivals met in the semi-finals of the NIT, a game also won by North Carolina by a score of 73 - 69. Duke also has rivalries with NC State and Wake Forest, and together with UNC, the 4 schools form Tobacco Road. Duke and North Carolina have combined for 11 national championships, with North Carolina leading Duke 6–5. The intensity of the rivalry is augmented by the proximity of the two universities, located only ten miles apart along U.S. Highway 15–501 (also known as Tobacco Road) or eight miles apart in straight-line distance in the cities of Durham and Chapel Hill.NEWS,bleacherreport.com/articles/1984477-rivalry-breakdown-duke-unc, Rivalry Breakdown: Duke–UNC, Novak, Thad, March 17, 2014, Bleacher Report, November 14, 2019, NEWS,bleacherreport.com/articles/1557198-why-unc-duke-is-the-best-rivalry-in-college-basketball, Why UNC–Duke is the Best Rivalry in College Basketball, Brodess, Doug, March 8, 2013, Bleacher Report, November 14, 2019, In addition, Duke is a private university whereas North Carolina is a public school; the vastly different funding structures and cultures between the two further contribute to the intensity of the rivalry.WEB, ESPN Staff, The 10 greatest rivalries, Dean Smith. Coach K. Jordan. Hill. Tobacco Road. Cameron Crazies. The fans are passionate, the teams successful, the games almost always down to the buzzer. Two of the four winningest teams in history, going at it twice a year (and once more in the ACC tournament if we’re lucky). This is what college hoops is all about., The end of the century, ESPN.com, 2000-01-03,espn.go.com/endofcentury/s/other/bestrivalries.html, 2008-03-25, Former Esquire editor and author (and North Carolina graduate) Will Blythe argues that the rivalry’s passion can be attributed greatly to class and culture in the South.{{cquote|To legions of otherwise reasonable adults, it is a conflict that surpasses sports; it is locals against outsiders, elitists against populists, even good against evil... The rivalry may be a way of aligning oneself with larger philosophic ideals — of choosing teams in life — a tradition of partisanship that reveals the pleasures and even the necessity of hatred.BOOK (File:Carolina-Duke basketball 2006 2.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The March 4, 2006 game was the most watched college basketball game in ESPN history.)The rivalry has been the subject of various books and articles, including To Hate Like This Is to Be Happy Forever by Blythe and Blue Blood by Art Chansky.BOOK Further illustrating the intensity of the rivalry, U.S. Representative Brad Miller, a die-hard Carolina fan, told an Associated Press writer in 2012, “I have said very publicly that if Duke was playing against the Taliban, then I’d have to pull for the Taliban.“NEWS,news.yahoo.com/duke-played-taliban-id-pull-taliban-080124270--spt.html, ‘If Duke played the Taliban, I’d pull for Taliban’, Jim, Litke, Associated Press, Yahoo! News, March 23, 2012, March 25, 2012, However, also due to the close proximity of the two schools, there is respect and collaboration within the rivalry. Inspired by the men’s basketball teams, twenty-four students from the two schools got together from January 14–16, 2006 in order to attempt to break the world record for the longest continuous game of basketball ever recorded. The game set a new world record at 57 hours, 17 minutes and 41 seconds with Duke winning the game 3699–3444. All $60,000 raised from the marathon benefited the Hoop Dreams Basketball Academy, an organization which helps children with life-threatening illnesses develop successful life skills through basketball.WEB , Beyond athletics, the school papers have also engaged in the rivalry. As a tradition, one day prior to a Duke-North Carolina basketball game, The Chronicle, Duke’s student newspaper, publishes a spoof cover page for the day’s edition with the title The Daily Tar Hole. Contained within are satirical stories poking fun at The Daily Tar Heel and the North Carolina Tar Heels. The Daily Tar Heel typically publishes former columnist Ian Williams’ “Insider’s guide to hating Duke” for the two basketball match-ups each year. There is a longstanding agreement that if Duke wins the first matchup, The Daily Tar Heel{{’}}s masthead is printed in Duke blue, and if North Carolina wins the first matchup, The Chronicle{{’}}s masthead is painted Carolina blue. The losing school’s paper also has to put the other school’s logo in a conspicuous location and claim that the winning school is “still the best.“WEB The Michigan Wolverines and the Maryland Terrapins basketball teams have also claimed rivalries against the Blue Devils, but Duke has long rejected both claims and considers North Carolina to be its only rival.WEB,dukechronicle.com/article/duke-michigan-do-battle-round-nine-fierce-rivalry, Duke, Michigan do battle in round nine of fierce rivalry, November 23, 2011, December 5, 1996, The Chronicle (Duke University), The Chronicle, Cohen, Rachel, Anya Sostek, Duke-Maryland `rivalry’ means much more to Terps fans, The Chronicle, January 11, 2000.

Perception

The Duke men’s basketball team has been noted as a particularly hated team within the sport. Some of the hate comes from fans of rival teams, most notably the North Carolina Tar Heels. However, the hate extends beyond rivalries to other fans.WEB,www.wsj.com/articles/the-complicated-politics-of-hating-duke-1458154496, The Complicated Politics of Hating Duke, Rexrode, Christina, March 16, 2016, Wall Street Journal, March 16, 2016, The hate is often tied to Duke’s record, as the team has experienced success in most seasons since the late 1980s.The hate is often tied to specific players. Christian Laettner, who played for Duke from 1988 to 1992 as they won two national championships, is often named as one of most hated players in college basketball.MAGAZINE,www.newyorker.com/sports/sporting-scene/the-joy-of-hating-duke-christian-laettner, The Joy of Hating, Wiedman, Reeves, March 19, 2015, The New Yorker, April 30, 2022, WEB,www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/mar/29/duke-basketball-black-fans-etan-thomas, How Duke became Black America’s most hated team: the perception of white privilege, Thomas, Etan, March 29, 2019, The Guardian, April 30, 2022, The 2015 documentary I Hate Christian Laettner names five main reasons for the hate: “privilege, race, bully, greatness and looks”.WEB, You’ll still hate Christian Laettner after ESPN’s excellent ‘I Hate Christian Laettner’ doc,ftw.usatoday.com/2015/03/i-hate-christian-laettner-review-duke-basketball-ncaa-tournament, For The Win, USA Today, August 27, 2023, en, 13 March 2015, JJ Redick, who played at Duke from 2002 to 2006 also experienced hatred and animosity from fans during his tenure.WEB,www.dukebasketballreport.com/2020/4/18/21224610/jj-redick-on-being-hated-duke-basketball, JJ Redick on being Hated, King, JD, April 18, 2020, Duke Basketball Report, March 3, 2024, Another particularly hated player is Grayson Allen, who played for Duke from 2014 to 2018. In addition to many of the reasons Laettner was hated, Allen was also targeted after several incidents in which he deliberately tripped opposing players.WEB, Kolur, Khadrice Rollins and Nihal, A hater’s guide to Grayson Allen,www.si.com/college/2017/11/14/why-hate-grayson-allen-duke, Sports Illustrated, August 27, 2023, en-us, 14 November 2017,
