Out of conference sked next year
- Thread starter FurdTurgason
- Start date
I'm pretty sure it's ucla and Michigan St. Plus bellarmine
St. Johns.
Loserville.
MSU
Indiana
Gonzaga.
All very winnable. Where as, yes we beat Duke, but I think that Duke team (and maybe even Gonzaga last year) might be tougher opponents than anyone above. Just my 2 cents and rosters can change. But I think this schedule is favorable for us.

Who do you think we get in the SEC/ACC challenge? I’m hoping Duke
We will have one sec/acc series game
Will not be surprised if we face duke again because we seems to be arranged with best acc team every year
I think we will get duke
We got miami in 23 (ff in previous season) and clemson (elite eight in previous season) in 24
Do not think we will play lou twice and play clemson in second year
That i don't like, because that's too many tough opponents, especially if it's true that were playing UCLA.
There is no reason to play 7 top25 games (and probably 4 top10) especially when the SEC is the way it is.
Personally, I would like to see us get UNC*** in the SEC / ACC challenge ......
I want Duke. I’d assume it would be a home game where we went to Clemson and they hosted Auburn this past season.
Is Sparty our Chanpions Classic game this year? Are we still in the Chanpions Classic?
If you guys think we're getting anyone other than Duke in the SEC/ACC challenge, you're crazy. There is no way they are going to pass on this window of opportunity.
UK and Duke just played in the Champions Classic, it will be 3 years until the 2 teams square off again.
So, that gives those that make the schedule for the challenge, a 2 year window for a home and home to go down before the next CC meeting.
You better believe we're getting duke in Rupp next year, then we're going to Cameron in '26.

It will be in Rupp so it will not be Dook. Probably someone like NC State / Clemson / insert lamb to slaughter here.
I forget that before, Duke will not play away game in Rupp, schedule will always favor Duke
We played Clemson last year
UNC/NC State more are likely
Almost positive it will be Duke in Rupp.
If they don't do it this year, they will have to wait 3 more years for another opportunity to setup a Home/Home between the two in back to back years (due to the Champions Classic conflict).
So it will either be Duke this year, or 3 years from now, no in between.
It'll be this year.

It could be in 26, play duke in Cameron
You know Duke always gets favorable schedule
We beat Gonzaga in a place they never lose or rarely lose. So yeah, i gotta agree there. Duke finished Kenpom #1 by a good margin.
Cant get over how many big games we won this past year. Felt like we shouldn’t have. Down 9 to Duke. Down 16 go zags on the road. Missing players in both tennessee games. Missing players on the road at Mizzou…how man? How did we win those games? It’s crazy. Pope was really good this past season considering.
I’m really hoping we get dUKe at Rupp this year! No excuse not to do it. Potential to have:
25-26 @Rupp
26-27 @ Cameron
27-28 Champions Classic
The sport needs big games like this.

Funny but we were at the game in Seattle this past year and as we were leaving the arena one of the ushers told us Gonzaga has never won a game in Climate Pledge Arena. I may be wrong but I think they are something like 0-5 there.
Jon Scheyer isn't the wuss K was and I don't think they have a choice in the matter.
They will make a huge mistake if they don't do a home and home with UK and duke the next 2 years.
I've found that this board is always very confident in out ACC challenge opponent but never correct.
I think we’re already playing UNC and Louisville so I assume it won’t be them.
We may play UCLA, as we played with OSU in 24 and UNC in 23
But now UCLA and OSU are in the same league, so lots of things may change in CBS game
I think I’m wrong. I thought we had UNC in the Tournament of Champions. It’s UCLA. That still leaves a chance we get UNC in the sec/acc challenge. Still rather it be Duke
Duke will not play away game in Rupp, you know they always get favorable schedule
But it is safer to bet we will play Duke in Cameron in 26.
I asked ChatGPT, "In men's NCAA basketball, when was the last time Duke played Kentucky in Rupp Arena?"
Answer:
The last time Duke played Kentucky in Rupp Arena was on March 13, 1980, during the NCAA Tournament Mideast Regional semifinals. Duke won that game 55–54, advancing to the regional final against Purdue. This victory marked Duke's first-ever win in Lexington, Kentucky.
Since then, Duke and Kentucky have faced each other multiple times, but all matchups have been held at neutral sites, such as the Champions Classic. As of now, there are no scheduled games between Duke and Kentucky in Rupp Arena.

It's all about money, what game will bring the most money? Duke @ UK and since Jon Scheyer doesn’t dictate the schedule, I bet we get Duke in Rupp.
I despise the fact that we are playing Indiana again. Why? I would much rather play Illinois, Ohio State, Purdue, Michigan, Wisconsin, or any other Big Whatever team than Indiana. Any of those games would bring in just as much if not more money.
Macy was clearly fouled with no call on the last shot. So much for homecourt advantage.
I did not say we played duke in sec/acc series last year
I mean we could play duke in consecutive year (in different game series)
No because then they couldn't do a home/home, because we play them in the Champions Classic in 27.
Do not think sec/acc series will 100% make uk and duke play home-home in 25 and 26
Last two years this series changed opponents
But I remember in SEC/Big12 challenge, we played multiple home/home with Kansas
Oh did not know that. Good call. I was going to say if were also playing ACC Challenge (which almost is for sure going to be Duke), AND UCLA.. that's an unnecessarily tough OOC slate.
Not a chance in hell we get Duke at Rupp. Where have you guys been the last 30 years?
We'll get UNC or NC State.
