Duke Basketball Dominates Most-Viewed Games in College Hoops

Last season, folks tuned in to watch Cooper Flagg & Co. lead Jon Scheyer's third Duke basketball squad to a 35-4 record, including the ACC Tournament title and a trip to the NCAA Tournament Final Four in San Antonio.

This go-round, the masses are still checking out the Blue Devils in droves. That's thanks, in large part, to the prowess of the program's latest projected one-and-done lottery pick in freshman power forward Cameron Boozer.

It also helps that Duke has enjoyed dramatic improvements compared to last season when it comes to the play of now-sophomore center Patrick Ngongba II, sophomore wing Isaiah Evans, and junior point guard Caleb Foster.

Plus, Scheyer and his staff made certain the Blue Devils would face a challenging slate of battles in non-conference play. Moreover, one of those contests took place on Thanksgiving Day.

Given all of the above, it's no surprise that the 2025-26 Duke basketball collection has attracted eyeballs galore, as the Blue Devils have been part of four of the five most-viewed games in college hoops thus far this season.

On Sunday night, the Duke basketball program posted the following graphic on social media, showing that the Blue Devils are the nation's top attraction once again:
