Duke's Shooting in NCAA Quarterfinal History

Duke made 21 of 50 shots (42 percent) in its quarterfinal win over Ohio State yesterday. That shooting percentage was one of the best in quarterfinals history.

1977 Navy
14 for 20 (.700) vs. Penn
1971 Army
19 for 30 (.630) vs. Hofstra
1985 North Carolina
16 for 31 (.526) vs. Brown

1996 Princeton
22 for 44 (.500) vs. Towson
1980 North Carolina
18 for 36 (.500) vs. Navy
1979 Virginia
15 for 31 (.483) vs. Cornell

2002 Johns Hopkins
13 for 27 (.480) vs. UMass
1990 Yale
17 for 36 (.470) vs. Princeton
1988 Syracuse
23 for 50 (.460) vs. Navy

1975 Cornell
18 for 40 (.450) vs. Rutgers
1986 Syracuse
17 for 38 (.447) vs. Rutgers
2004 Maryland
9 for 21 (.428) vs. Georgetown

1999 Georgetown
17 for 40 (.425) vs. Duke
2006 Virginia
20 for 47 (.425) vs. Georgetown
2008 Duke
21 for 50 (.420) vs. Ohio State

fwiw, the lowest percentage in a quarterfinal was Washington & Lee's 0 for 20 in a 14-0 loss to Cornell in 1976. The Generals would have been better off throwing fish at Cornell.
