I know we're playing in the Phil Knight Invitational 11/23-11/26. But does anyone know of any other confirmed games/dates/opponents?

I believe Duke is Playing St. John's next season also. It's an out of conference game that is in the middle of conference play.
SJU game makes zero sense, they are putrid. Love when Johnnie fans wear "F--- Duke" shirts in MSG.
Duke always seemed to play St. John's, Georgetown, and sometimes Temple during the middle of conference play. Never could understand why either.
I think this year is Mich St.
2014-2015 season was mich st.
2015-2016 season was Kentucky
2016-2017 season was Kansas
We're scheduled to play Michigan State in the Champions Classic. This would seem like a good year to play MSU in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge, but I got to imagine we'll be paired with another school with the aforementioned matchup. Maybe we get Northwestern or Minnesota? We've never played either one of them in the challenge.
I would love if it was Minnesota, because we're due a road game. However, I highly doubt it's them. But I'll be honest....I haven't thought of that. Would be really cool if it worked out that way.
I'd assume we get the 2nd best team in the Big Ten next year - quite a drop off after MSU. But I'm not honestly sure who that's supposed to be... Minnesota and Northwestern appear to be bringing the most talent back. I could see us potentially playing another team, as Minnesota and Northwestern aren't typically labeled as sexy matchups. ESPN's gotta have their ratings.
I do think playing at Minnesota would be really cool. Good chance for Trent Jr to go back home - short travel for Tre Jones to see the game. And you get to play on a raised floor. Very cool basketball atmosphere at the Williams Arena.
Williams Arena is one of the coolest basketball venues in the country.
To give alums in those large metro areas a chance to see their alma mater?
