In 1906, Wilbur Wade Card, Trinity College's Athletic Director and a member of the Class of 1900, introduced the game of basketball to Trinity. The January 30 issue of The Trinity Chronicle headlined the new sport on its front page. Trinity's first game ended in a loss to Wake Forest, 24-10. The game was played in the Angier B. Duke Gymnasium, later known as The Ark. The Trinity team won its first title in 1920, the state championship, by beating the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering (now NC State) 25 to 24. Earlier in the season they had beaten the University of North Carolina 19-18 in the first match-up between the two schools.

Duke upset the heavily favored UNLV Running Rebels 79-77 in the Final Four in 1991, a rematch of the 1990 final. The team, led by Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley, Grant Hill, and Thomas Hill went on to defeat Kansas 72-65 to win the university's first NCAA Championship. Ranked #1 all season and favored to repeat as national champions in 1992, Duke took part in a game "acclaimed by many [as] the greatest college basketball game ever played," according to ESPN.^{[9][10][11][12]} In the Elite Eight, Duke met the Rick Pitino-led Kentucky Wildcats. It appeared Kentucky had sealed the win when guard Sean Woods hit a running shot off the glass in the lane to put Kentucky up by one with 2.1 seconds left on the clock. After a time-out, Duke's Grant Hill threw a full-court pass to Christian Laettner. Laettner took a dribble and nailed a turn-around jumper at the buzzer to send Duke into the Final Four with a 104-103 victory. To the Duke faithful, this play will forever be known as "The Shot". The shot was named the most memorable basketball shot of all-time (including the NBA, college, and high school) by the Best Damn Sports Show Period in 2007^[13] and the fifth most unforgettable sports moment of all-time across all sports in 2006.^[14] Duke went on to defeat the Michigan Wolverines 71-51 to claim its second NCAA Championship. Kentucky got revenge in 1998, when they came back to win from 18 down against Duke with 16 minutes left to play to go to the Final Four. Duke defeated Arizona 82-72 to win its third NCAA Championship in 2001. Krzyzewski was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame later that year. “UNLV” redirects here. ...
