Duke Players Who Haven't Lost to UNC

[cbnaylor]

Ok, so we all know that Tyler Hansblah went 4-0 in Cameron because every Carolina fan will continue to remind you. Has there been any Duke players that have swept Carolina all four years at both sites?

Greg Zoubek?

Maybe not all four years, but Luol Deng and Maggette both never lost to the Holes.

Greg Zoubek?

Not really a fair comparison, but Luol (2-0) and Corey (3-0) were undefeated versus Carolina in their single seasons.

I'm sure you know this, but it's at least worth pointing out that Hansborough did not go undefeated against Duke, losing 2 games in Chapel Hill.

True. And in terms of most career wins in the rivalry, I think Battier must be at least tied for first with 8 wins (and three losses) over 4 seasons.

1998 (1-2)
1999 (3-0)
2000 (2-0)
2001 (2-1)

Nate James beats him by percentage points.

1997 (1-1)
1999 (3-0)
2000 (2-0)
2001 (2-1)

Total of 8-2.

Further to your question, Chris Carrawell was undefeated in Cameron against UNC, winning in 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000. Daniel Ewing was also undefeated in Cameron, winning in 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005. Those are, I believe, the only two 4-year players under Krzyzewski to have undefeated home careers against UNC.

Pre-Krzyzewski, all seniors in the graduating classes of 1972, 1971, 1970, 1964, 1963, 1956, 1955, 1954, 1943, 1933, 1932, and 1931 did not lose to UNC at home, at least at the varsity level.

And though they only stayed 3 years, the JWill/ Boozer/ Dunleavy class was undefeated in CH.

Finally, the Class of '54 is the only class to have an undefeated varsity career against UNC, although back then the career was three years instead of four. They went 7-0.

Correction, as SCMatt33 pointed out (below), the class of '64 also had an undefeated varsity career (also three years), also going 7-0.

I love this thread! How about Hurley, Hill, and Laettner? What were their respective records against UNC? I don't think UNC was that good during the early 90's. If I remember correctly, they had the likes of JR Reid, Eric Montross, and Hubert Davis, but certainly never the teams of Duke's caliber.

Except, you know, in '93.

Um, they were Nat'l Champs in '93.

Laettner: 5-6

Hill: 5-5

I don't believe that I can find any example of a player who played a four year career (for either side) without losing a single game. I can find an example, however, of going undefeated over a three year career before freshman were eligible. Duke swept Carolina 7-0 from 1961-62 to 1963-64, which would encompass the entire career of Jeff Mullins and a few others. Unlike today where three year players are one's who left early, and players who redshirt are still on the roster, freshman before 1972 were officially not on the roster.

[ChicagoCrazy84]

Um, they were Nat'l Champs in '93.

Crap, that's right. That was the year Stackhouse, Wallace, McInnis, and Zwikker all came in. Nice class for them!

[pfrduke]

Interestingly enough, when we had our run of 7 final fours in 9 years (86-94), we were just 10-12 against UNC. Our best 9 years under Krzyzewski against UNC was 97-05 (or 98-06 - same record), when we went 17-6. One championship and 3 final fours in that run.

[nocilla]

These may have been covered, but I'll post them anyway.

Recent Dukies;
Daniel Ewing was 8-2
Chris Duhon was 9-2
Jay Williams, Boozer, and Dunleavy were 7-1 (3-0 in CH)
Battier and Redick were both 8-3
Mason Plumlee, Andre Dawkins, Ryan Kelly are 2-0

They won the title for the 92-93 season. Those guys did not start playing until the '93-'94 season.

[94duke]

Any of our guys win 4 at UNC?
That would be more comparable to Hansblahblah than winning 4 at home.
