## Resource

Which Duke team from this century was the absolute greatest? The 2001 squad—featuring Jason Williams, Carlos Boozer, and Shane Battier—won 35-4, claimed Duke’s third national title, and earned 14% of coach votes, trailing only 2023-24 UConn. Coaches raved about their talent, veteran savvy, and clutch closing ability, with one calling them nightmare-inducing to defend. The following year, 2002, also got nods—Williams won player of the year again—but fell unexpectedly to Indiana in the Sweet 16, proving greatness isn’t just about talent, but also timing and execution.
