DURHAM, N.C. (WNCN) — Kentucky, Kansas, Illinois, Arizona — those are some of the teams Duke men’s basketball will be facing this season during the non-conference portion of their schedule.
Earlier this week, the Blue Devils announced their full non-Atlantic Coast Conference schedule, though many of the individual matchups had previously been announced. The most recent one was the Wednesday announcement of a February matchup at Madison Square Garden against last year’s Big Ten champions, Illinois.
That clash won’t happen until February, but Duke’s early season schedule will be packed with plenty of big names. In the month of November, the Blue Devils are scheduled to face Kentucky and Kansas at neutral sites, with a trip to the desert to play Arizona in Tucson sandwiched in between.
Duke’s December schedule starts with the ACC/SEC Challenge, when the Blue Devils will host Auburn at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Other matchups include home games against Army and Wofford. Here’s the Duke Blue Devils’ full non-conference schedule
