The Duke basketball program’s current streak of 1,038 games with at least one made 3-pointer ranks third in the nation and dates back to 1989.
While the streak’s growth offers a fun sideshow, the streak’s sudden end — especially if it came as a result of zero attempts — would symbolize the 2019 Blue Devils’ overall growth and likely coincide with their season’s most impressive show.
Duke, now 15-2 and No. 2 in the latest AP Top 25 Poll, provided what is hopefully a glimpse of the near future during the final 15 minutes of its 72-70 home win Saturday over now-No.
