Full Duke basketball schedule released
Duke has three Saturday-Monday turnarounds in its ACC basketball schedule for the upcoming season.
But five of those six games will be home games, and the road game won’t have the Blue Devils going far away.
The ACC released its men’s basketball schedule on Tuesday afternoon. Opponents and home/away matchups were previously announced. As was the ACC’s move to an 18-game schedule, down from 20, as a means for the league to improve its collective non-conference strength of schedule.
Duke will play home games against Wake Forest and Louisville in quick succession in late January. The Blue Devils play host to Clemson and Syracuse in mid-February. And then Duke is home against Virginia on Feb. 28 and at N.C. State on March 2.
Six ACC dates are listed with “or” dates because TV designations have not been determined.
