Duke’s first ACC game will come on the road in early December.
The ACC announced its basketball schedules on Tuesday night and the Blue Devils will begin league play Dec. 2 at Georgia Tech.
Key dates to know are Feb. 3 and March 9 for the games against UNC, first in Chapel Hill and in Durham to close the season. Duke only has one game against Virginia (March 2 at home) and Miami (Feb. 21 on the road).
Duke is coming off a 27-9 season in which it was 14-6 in the ACC and won the ACC championship. The Blue Devils won 10 straight games before a second-round exit in the NCAA tournament last season.
This year, Duke brings back one of the most-talented rosters in college basketball. A returning core of Jeremy Roach, Tyrese Proctor, Mark Mitchell and ACC rookie of the year Kyle Filipowski pairs with four 5-star recruits.
