The 2024-25 Blue Devils, in the program's 18th trip to the Final Four and the first under the command of Jon Scheyer, boast a 35-3 overall record. They're two wins shy of matching the 1985-86 and 1998-99 squads for the Duke record and becoming the first to reach that total with a national championship in tow.

The program hasn't prevailed in a Final Four outing since winning it all in 2015.
