The program
Overview
Duke's greatest era came under Wallace Wade, whose 1938 'Iron Dukes' were unscored upon in the regular season and whose program hosted the 1942 Rose Bowl in Durham because of wartime restrictions on the West Coast. David Cutcliffe revived the program in the 2010s, and Manny Diaz led the Blue Devils to the 2025 ACC championship.
