Senior guard Jeremy Roach has started more than 100 games in his Duke career, and with his time as a Blue Devil coming to a close, he’s working himself into some gaudy company in program history.
With his final regular season officially over and his senior night in the rearview mirror, Roach currently sits 35th in Duke history with 1,408 career points.
Only two other players since 2011 have also reached 1,400 career points in a Duke uniform. Quinn Cook finished with 1,571 points (29th all-time), and Grayson Allen finished with 1,996 (12th).
Roach, who is averaging more than 14 points per game this season, has a full postseason to work his way farther up the list. He’s only nine points behind Mike Lewis (1,417 career points) for 34th on the all-time list, and he’s 47 points behind Vince Taylor and Chris Carrawell for 32nd.
Should Duke make it to the Sweet 16 of the upcoming NCAA Tournament, Roach should have enough games to move past those three names.
However, the gap between 32nd and 31st is 51 points, meaning the fourth-year guard would likely need a national championship run to move any higher than that.
