Duke's all-time record against St. John's ahead of Sweet 16 matchup
The Blue Devils face St. John's in the Sweet 16 Friday. Ahead of the matchup, here's how Duke has fared against the Red Storm in the past.
After defeating TCU in the Round of 32 Saturday, the Duke Blue Devils await St. John's in the Sweet 16. With a highly anticipated matchup set for Friday between Duke and longtime Blue Devils adversary , St.
John's head coach Rick Pitino, it's only right to take a look at the history behind these two teams. Since they first played each other in the 1978-79 season, Duke has found plenty of success against the Red Storm, owning a head-to-head record of 16-6. In those 22 games, Duke has scored an average of 79 points, with their highest total (97) coming in a matchup during the 2001-2002 season.
In the last 10 matchups between the two programs, the Blue Devils hold an 8-2 record. That said, the two sides haven't faced off against one another since the 2018-19 season, when both teams were led by different coaches. With the Blue Devils winning that matchup 91-61, they'll hope to repeat history Friday as the two schools are set to meet again.
