THR3EPEAT?
Third Time's the Charm?
Alright DBR! In my quest to commemorate each of the 5 Duke National titles, I am coming up short on the name for the painting depicting the 2001 team that I just finished. The name for the 2015 painting is 'DYNA5TY' and the name for the 2010 painting is 'Order Has Been Restored'.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I think you can strengthen 2010's title even further by calling it Order Restored. You don't need the auxiliary verbs, just the noun and the participle.

I don't know about a name, but I *definitely* want some of whatever Dunleavy is smoking... ;-)
Seriously though, you are a talented individual sir! Well done.

The name "L3GACY" comes to mind. This was the third title and cemented Coach K's place and greatness among his peers. The team also left a lasting image for Duke, one that endures to this day. It was a star-studded team that also was reliant on grit and determination. The team did not coast on talent. They are the bar by which subsequent teams have been measured. Maybe I feel that way since I was a freshman on campus, but it really does feel like the 2000-01 squad was the bridge between the 80's-90's teams and those that would follow where leaving earlier and earlier for the NBA became more then norm.

Fun Stuff. I checked a couple of the newspapers from around the time of the title and saw, "Championship Dance", "True Blue", and - from The Chronicle - "Won and Dun".
Nice work, by the way. Thanks for sharing with the board!
Here’s all five. Sorry for the terrible pic.

...and to add to your excellent post...this was a crucial title for K and Duke to really be on top of the mountain...again...and proof that the 91-92 was not an outlier. It was great to win one in another decade. It really moved K into a new realm, and he took Duke with him.
I like DBA's "L3GACY" suggestion for 2001, and I agree with throatybeard about the shortening on 2010's, though it occurred to me that there could be a uniting element through the series if we found a way to incorporate a numeral in all 5... "DYNA5TY", "ORDER RES4ORED", "L3GACY", "BUILT 2 REPEAT", & "DEST1NY" ...???
And when we win our 6th... "LE6ENDARY"!!!!!!
