The Blue Devils began the season ranked sixth in the AP poll and won their opening game against Texas in the Dick Vitale Invitational. They won their next three games before traveling to New York City to participate in the Champions Classic where they defeated twenty-fourth ranked Kansas. The team won two more games before facing three straight ranked teams. The Blue Devils defeated twenty-second ranked Arkansas by nine points in Chicago and fifteenth ranked Florida by one point at home in the ACC–SEC Challenge. They rounded out the run by defeating seventh-ranked Michigan State by six points in East Lansing. Duke defeated Lipscomb before suffering their first loss of the season, by just a point, to nineteenth-ranked Texas Tech. The Blue Devils had risen to third in the AP poll at the time of the loss and fell back to sixth after it. They began ACC play with ten straight victories. Over the stretch they faced three ranked teams; Louisville was ranked twentieth for both their meetings and twenty-fourth ranked SMU. Five of the wins were away, and five were at home. The streak included a road trip to California where the Blue Devils defeated both California and Stanford. The team suffered its first ACC lost on February 7, against rivals and fourteenth-ranked North Carolina. After three more victories, including a ranked win over twentieth-ranked Clemson, Duke's ACC schedule was broken up by a match-up with top ranked Michigan. The Blue Devils were ranked third at the time, and won 68–63 in the neutral site game in Washington, D.C.. The victory propelled Duke to the top of the AP poll where they would stay for the remainder of the regular season. They finished ACC play with four straight victories, including a win over eleventh-ranked Virginia and a victory in the rivalry re-match against seventeenth ranked North Carolina.
The Blue Devils finished the regular season 29–2 overall and 17–1 in ACC play to finish as regular season champions, successfully defending their title from the previous year. As the top seed in the 2026 ACC tournament, they earned a double-bye into the Quarterfinals where they defeated eight-seed Florida State by one point. They advanced over fifth seed Clemson in the Semifinals. They successfully defended their tournament title by defeating second seed and tenth-ranked Virginia in the Final, 74–70. The Blue Devils earned the ACC's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament and were the one-seed, and top overall tournament seed. They were placed in the East region. They defeated sixteen-seed Siena in the First Round despite trailing in the second half. They defeated nine-seed TCU in the Second Round 81–58 to advance to the Sweet 16. There they defeated five-seed and tenth-ranked St. John's 80–75. Their tournament run ended against second-seed and seventh-ranked UConn in the Elite Eight on a 35 foot shot by UConn with just 0.4 seconds left, completing a 19 point comeback for the Huskies.[1] The Blue Devils finished with a final record of 35–3.
Previous season
The Blue Devils finished the 2024–25 season 35–4 and 19–1 in ACC play to finish in first place. As the first seed in the ACC Tournament, held at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, they earned a bye to the quarterfinals and beat Georgia Tech, 78–70, to advance to the semifinals. There, they would defeat North Carolina, 74–71 to advance to the championship game, where they would defeat Louisville, 73–62, to win the tournament championship. The championship was their 23rd conference tournament victory in program history. As a result, they received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 1 seed in the East region. There they would defeat Mount St. Mary's, 93–49, in the first round, Baylor, 89–66, in the second round, Arizona, 100–93, in the Sweet Sixteen, and Alabama, 85–65, in the Elite Eight to advance to their first Final Four since the 2021–22 season.
