Trivia Time

[GoB]

I'll start it off with 3:

1. During the Krzyzewski Era name the 8 players who started every game they played at Duke. (Hint: Four were one-and-dones, 3 played all 4 years and 1 was in-between.)



2. Name the 3 players (all were during the Krzyzewski Era) whose career FT percentage was less than .500 (min. 20 attempts).
[Note: one barely meets the minimum criterion but the other two had over 100 FTA]



3. What was the only season in the Krzyzewski Era when 3 players all averaged over 35 min per game? And who were the 3 players?

I think you're wrong about Jah. As I recall he got hurt (against NC?) and missed the next game.

[El_Diablo]

I think you're wrong about Jah. As I recall he got hurt (against NC?) and missed the next game.

Yeah, but he still started every game he played.

[vfefrenzy]

Yeah, but he still started every game he played.

You are correct. I misread it as started every game during their career.

2. Gotta be a Plumlee in there, right? Career free throws?

Or are you thinking the best 3-point shooters?

Impressive - El Diablo nailed all 3!

Can you grant an asterisk to Casey Sanders, perhaps the only Duke player whose FT percentage declined every year, from 64% as a freshman to 47% as a senior, with career FT average of 51.8%?

You go doing that and you have to bring in Mike Tissaw.

[Dukehky]

Did Winslow really start every game he played in? He never sat for Matt, even when he was hurt? I'm not sure I believe that.

Tyus, Quinn, and Justise started all 39 games. Jah started 38 -- all he played in.

Ok, the idea was for others to add trivia of their own - maybe El Diablo has intimidated everyone with his prowess? There's a big game this weekend that might inspire a lookback into history...

Anyways, I'll post one more:

4. Which Duke player hit the first ever three-pointer in the ACC?

[royalblue]

I will give it a try
Tom Emma

[BigWayne]

I will give it a try
Tom Emma

I would go with that also. There's only two other candidates: http://goduke.statsgeek.com/basketba...ameid=19821208

Everyone knows Rich Yonakor made the airball shot that inspired the chant. Who shot the second Tarheel airball in the 7-0 first half?

Also, how short was Yonakor's shot in feet?

[MarkD83]

The air ball game was ridiculous. I had not yet decided to go to Duke but was watching Big Five BBall in Philly. The local station decided to show the Duke UNC game so I turned it on and saw 7-0 with 19 or so minutes left in the half. I thought Duke got off to an amazing start until I realized it was 19 mins or so left in the 2nd half and I was flabbergasted.

It might be boring but I really wish there was a tape of that game so I could see the 1st half.
