The impact of the Jon Scheyer era is already being felt in Durham.
Duke announced a home-and-home series with Arizona on Monday afternoon. The series will begin at Cameron Indoor Stadium in 2023 before the Blue Devils make the return trip out west in 2024.
Here are the details:
Duke always played a quality nonconference schedule under Mike Krzyzewski, but a common criticism was that those games were often played at neutral sites. It appears that trend is going to change under Scheyer’s leadership.
Duke and Arizona have met 9 times previously, with the Wildcats winning 5 of those matchups. However, Duke’s most recent win over Arizona was a big one — a 82-72 triumph in the 2001 National Championship game.
As for this upcoming season, Duke is already slated to play Kansas and Iowa at neutral sites. The Blue Devils will also compete in the PK85 Invitational in Portland later this year. The schedule for that tournament has not yet been finalized.
