Cameron Effect: Duke Basketball Owns Four Longest ACC Home Win Streaks
Georgia Tech hasn't knocked off a Duke basketball team in Cameron Indoor Stadium in almost 20 years. As for Boston College, the Eagles fell in Durham again on Saturday and have still never escaped with a victory against the Blue Devils in front of the famed Cameron Crazies.
Meanwhile, neither Clemson nor Wake Forest, the latest Cameron victim from Monday night, has pulled off the feat this century.

And with that, Duke boasts the ACC's four longest home winning streaks:
- 25 straight versus Wake Forest, dating back to 1998
- 21 straight versus Clemson, dating back to 1996
- 14 straight versus Boston College, dating back to 1990
- 13 straight versus Georgia Tech, dating back to 2005
Duke's social media team advertised the program's bragging rights in those series with the following post:
The No. 9 Blue Devils (19-5, 10-3 ACC), now tied with archrival UNC in the conference loss column, have only three home outings remaining on their slate. None are against Wake Forest, Clemson, Boston College, or Georgia Tech, so those home winning streaks will survive at least until next season.
Looking to build off its 3-0 homestand that followed a loss to the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill, Duke now faces three consecutive road battles in ACC play.
