The 1966–67 Duke Blue Devils men's basketball team represented Duke University in the 1966–67 NCAA University Division men's basketball season. The head coach was Vic Bubas[1] and the team finished the season with an overall record of 18–9 and did not qualify for the NCAA tournament.[2]
Having played on the freshman team the previous year, the 1966–67 season was the first season for C. B. Claiborne, the first African-American to integrate the Duke basketball team. He made his first start in a January 1967 victory over Penn State, after head coach Vic Bubas suspended nine of his players.[3] [4]
