Bobby Hurley played at Duke from 1989-1993 and during his time in Durham, he racked up 1,076 assists. That record may be unbreakable for several reasons.
First, the obvious: talented players don’t stay for four years very often anymore.
But secondly, Hurley played for five seasons.
Well, not literally. But he played 140 games at Duke, and the Blue Devils played in 20 post-season games. Hurley started in all of them and that’s a huge obstacle for anyone to overcome.
Still, some guys aren’t too far off and interestingly, his two closest competitors in the all-time assists category are Triangle rivals: Ed Cota was close with 1,030 and Chris Corchiani had the record for a while with 1,038.
