Duke announced its full non-conference slate for the upcoming men’s basketball season Thursday morning.

It’s highlighted by games against five programs that have been mainstays atop their respective conferences — Kentucky, Arizona, Kansas, Auburn and Illinois. That’s two SEC, two Big 12 and one Big Ten program.

Duke’s season, Jon Scheyer’s third at the helm, begins officially on Nov. 4 against Maine — the home-state team of top-ranked recruit Cooper Flagg. Other matchups against low- and mid-major teams are Army, Seattle, Incarnate Word and George Mason.
