2000 - 2001 - 2002 - 2003 - 2005 - 2006 - 2009 - 2010 - 2011 | ACC Champions
The last three titles -- in 2009, 2010 and 2011 -- have allowed Duke to vault North Carolina for the most titles in ACC history. The Blue Devils now have 19 league championships, two more than the Tar Heels. NC State is third with 10 titles (but hasn’t won one since 1987). Nobody else has more than four titles.

“I think all the credit goes to our coaches. It’s all about preparation in tournament situations. Every team’s kids are going to go out there and play as hard as they can. But if you’re prepared better than the opponent, you’ve got a better chance of winning. Our coaching staff just does a great job of staying up all night, waking us up early and having film ready for us to see. We listen.”
