Duke basketball hosting another local non-conference opponent

The Duke basketball program has added another local non-conference foe to its schedule. 

Another local opponent has been added to the Duke basketball non-conference schedule as Jon Scheyer looks to round out the slate that his Blue Devils will be facing this season.

The Charlotte 49ers will make the trip to Cameron Indoor Stadium this winter on December 9, according to Agent49 and TheD1Docket. 

This marks the 10th non-conference game that Duke has added to its schedule, only leaving its season opening game still vacant.

Charlotte is coming off of a season in which the program went 22-14 (9-11 C-USA) en route to a championship in the College Basketball Invitational (CBI).

However, the 49ers will no longer be a member of Conference USA when it travels to Durham after the school officially made the move to the American Athletic Conference (AAC) on July 1.

The Blue Devils will host Bucknell, La Salle, Southern Indiana, Hofstra, and Queens to ‘buy games’ this season, in addition to Charlotte and whoever the program plays in its season opener.

Jon Scheyer will see his team play four major non-ACC games including a matchup against Arizona inside Cameron Indoor Stadium in the second game of the season and a trip to Arkansas for the inaugural ACC vs. SEC Challenge.
