Dawkins played point guard for the 1982 – 83 Blue Devils , but moved to shooting guard the following year to make way for Amaker . When Amaker joined the 1983 – 84 Blue Devils , unranked Duke , led by Dawkins and Amaker , won its first seven games , the longest winning streak of fourth-year head coach Krzyzewski 's career . Amaker had a field goal accuracy of over 65 percent in those games . He led Duke to the NCAA Tournament during his 1984 freshman and 1985 sophomore seasons , but neither team advanced to the Sweet Sixteen ( regional semifinals ) . In the quarterfinal round of the 1984 ACC Men 's Basketball Tournament against the Mark Price-led Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets , Amaker hit the game-winning shot with the score tied and less than 10 seconds left in overtime . In some instances , Amaker 's defense changed the game by limiting dribble penetration and forcing low shooting percentages regardless of whether he had notable offensive contributions
