More than two dozen Duke basketball products are on an active NBA contract this season. And on Monday night, with all 30 teams in the league tipping off games between 7 and 10:30 p.m. ET, 18 NBA Blue Devils played and combined for 288 points.

That's more than any cast of former Duke basketball players has ever scored in the league on a single day.

Only three of the 15 games did not include at least one Blue Devil on the floor.

So while the Duke basketball program was enjoying the start of a new chapter with its 1-0 opening to the first season with Jon Scheyer at the helm, one could say the NBA Blue Devils were celebrating the night by getting "Brotherhood buckets" everywhere.
