Dates also became official for Countdown to Craziness on October 18 and the Blue Devils will have two exhibition games.

First on October 26, Duke will host Northwest Missouri State and on October 30 Fort Valley State will come to Cameron to face the Blue Devils.

As constructed the Blue Devils non-conference schedule lines up like this:

  • Countdown to Craziness – October 18
  • vs. Northwest Missouri State – October 28 [Exhibition]
  • vs. Missouri State – October 30 [Exhibition]
  • vs. Kansas – November 5 (Madison Square Garden) [Champions Classic]
  • vs. Colorado State – November 8
  • vs. Central Arkansas – November 12
  • vs. California – November 21 (Madison Square Garden) [Empire Classic]
  • vs. Georgetown/Texas – November 22 (Madison Square Garden) [Empire Classic]
  • vs. Stephen F. Austin – November 26
  • vs. Winthrop – November 29
  • at. Michigan State – December 3 [ACC vs. Big Ten Challenge]
  • vs. Wofford – December 19
  • vs. Brown – December 28

The Blue Devils will bring back key contributors from last season such as Tre Jones, Alex O’Connell, Javin DeLaurier, Jack White, and Jordan Goldwire, while bringing one of the best freshmen classes once again highlighted by Vernon Carey Jr. and Matthew Hurt.

Mike Krzyzewski will also bring in coveted freshmen Wendell Moore and Cassius Stanley for this year’s team.

Duke is a consensus Top-5 team to start the season once again after losing a plethora of talent from a year ago, with three Top-10 picks in the 2019 NBA Draft, Zion Williamson, R.J. Barrett, and Cam Reddish.

With high expectations and a grueling ACC schedule to follow, the Blue Devils will look to bring another National Championship back to Durham and hang that sixth championship banner in the rafters of Cameron Indoor Stadium.
