The Duke Blue Devils finished the season 29-5 and 13-3 in ACC regular season play and are the #1 seed in the 2010 NCAA Tournament South Region. Coack K’s Blue Devils pulled the rare feat this season of winning both the regular and postseason ACC titles. Key wins for the Blue Devils this season have been victories on Clemson at home and away, and Maryland at home. Duke did lose on the road to Georgia Tech, NC State, and Maryland towards the end of the season. Coach Krzyzewski is 71-22 all time in 25 NCAA tournament appearances as head coach.

The Blue Devils are led by senior guard Jon Scheyer who scores 18.6 ppg, forward Kyle Singler 17.6 ppg, 2.4 apg, and Nolan Smith, 17.2 ppg who form the nucleus of the 2009-10 Blue Devils offense. Center Brian Zoubek has been playing better as the season has progressed and he is backed up by freshmen brothers, Mason and Miles Plumlee. The top reserve for the back court is guard Andre Dawkins who is scoring 5.2 ppg.

Duke averages 14 assists a game as a team and 11 turnovers. They Blue Devils also score 79.2 points a game as a team while giving up 61.9 to the opposition. Duke shoots 44.3 % from the field and shoots just under 40% from 3 making just under 8 3’s per game. When the Blue Devils get hot from the outside, they have blown ranked teams out this season.

Unlike past Duke squads, this year’s team is not deep in the back court. For the Blue Devils to make it past the Sweet Sixteen, they will need to rely on their guard play and stay out of foul trouble. They do have what is arguably the easier bracket of the #1 seeds in the 2010 NCAA Tournament and are being picked to make it to at least the Elite Eight if not the 2010 Final Four this year.

The NCAA Men’s basketball tournament is the premiere collegiate postseason basketball tournament held every March and April in the United States. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) runs the tournament and it has been held every year since 1939. Every Division I conference receives one automatic bid to the tournament with the left-over spots being chosen by the NCAA selection committee. Factors that play in the selection of “at-large” teams to the tournament are overall record, team ranking, strength of schedule, and RPI rankings. Starting in 2001, a “play-in” game was added to the tournament that pits two of the lowest ranking conference champions against each other.

NCAA Basketball Tournament Championships

The UCLA Bruins hold the most NCAA championships with 11, the Kentucky Wildcats have 7, and the Indiana Hoosiers and North Carolina Tar Heels each have 5. The Duke Blue Devils and Kansas Jayhawks each have 3 NCAA Basketball Tournament victories a piece.
