Rankings from AP Poll

The Blue Devils entered the season looking to win their third consecutive national championship and entered the season as the No. 3 team in preseason polling. They reached No. 1 in the polls on December 7, 1992, and stayed there for five consecutive weeks as the Blue Devils won their first ten games. A loss to Georgia Tech on January 10, 1993, ended their streak and knocked them from No. 1.

Duke finished the regular season at 23-6 but was eliminated by Georgia Tech in the opening round of the ACC Tournament.[3] They earned a No. 3 seed in the Midwest Region, falling to California in the second round of the tournament.

The loss to California was the last game for Bobby Hurley at Duke, as he was graduating.
