The Duke basketball program is continuing to round out its elite non-conference schedule for the 2026-27 season, recently setting up another high-major matchup on a neutral floor.
Head coach Jon Scheyer and his staff will once again give their guys a gauntlet of a non-conference slate to best prepare the club for the postseason. Duke has faced one of the toughest non-conference schedules in college basketball in each of the last two seasons, and in both years, it has earned a 1-seed in the NCAA Tournament.
