The Blue Devils men's basketball team is a dominant force representing Duke University. Coached by Mike Krzyzewski, they hold the fourth spot in NCAA men's basketball wins all-time and are leading the way with a winning percentage of .755 in NCAA tournament games. Five national championships, 11 championship game appearances, and 16 Final Fours have solidified their reputation as one of the greatest programs ever. Eleven Blue Devils have been crowned National Player of the Year, while 71 players have been drafted into the NBA. Additionally, 36 players have been named All-Americans, chosen 60 times, and 14 Academic All-Americans. The Atlantic Coast Conference has seen Duke reign supreme 19 times as champions, with 19 regular season titles to boot. Prior to joining the ACC, they dominated the Southern Conference with five championships. Seven times they've finished the season ranked No. 1 in the AP poll, second only to UCLA's record 121 weeks at number one. Their streak of 200 consecutive appearances in the AP Top 25 from 1996 to 2007 is a testament to their enduring greatness, just shy of UCLA's 221-week reign. As ESPN noted in 2008, Duke stands as the most prestigious college basketball program since the 1985-86 season, with "by any measure of success, Duke is king of the hill." Since then, they've added two more national titles to their collection in 2010 and 2015.
