Overall schedule for Duke in 2024-25

The Blue Devils open things up at home against the Campbell Camels on Nov. 4 followed by Army on Nov. 8 before traveling to Atlanta to face Kentucky in the Champions Classic on Nov. 12.

Duke is currently 8-5 in the Champions Classic, which they've participated in since 2011. They've won two straight against the Kentucky Wildcats heading in with a 79-71 victory back on November 9, 2021, back when John Calipari was at the helm. It will be interesting to see how things unfold in a new era.

The Blue Devils return home on Nov. 16 to face the Wofford Terriers before things get tough against as they travel to Tuscon to face the Arizona Wildcats (Nov. 22) then travel to Las Vegas for the Vegas Showdown against Kansas on Nov. 26.

Duke returns to Cameron Indoor on Nov. 29 to host Seattle as part of the Vegas Showdown before hosting Auburn in the ACC/SEC Challenge on Dec. 4. They'll travel to Louisville on Dec. 8 to open up conference play then host Incarnate Word (Dec. 10) and George Mason (Dec. 17) to close out the non-conference schedule.

The non-conference slate hasn't been an issue for Coach Scheyer and company. They went 10-2 in non-conference action in 2023-24, losing to No. 12 Arizona and on the road to Arkansas in the ACC/SEC Challenge. They'll face similar challenges this season, but there's a very good chance they could be a Top 10 team headed into January if all goes well.
