Will the Duke men’s basketball team take the court on Saturday?
Following an 88-65 victory over Virginia Tech on New Year’s Eve, Duke’s seventh win in a row, the Blue Devils travel to Texas for a road battle with the SMU Mustangs.
Freshman superstar [autotag]Cooper Flagg[/autotag] scored 24 points against the Hokies, his fourth 20-point performance in Duke’s last six games, and he leads the Blue Devils in scoring, rebounds, assists, and blocks through Saturday morning.
However, the Mustangs will apparently pose more of a challenge than expected in 2024-25. Former USC Trojans head coach Andy Enfield took over the program this offseason just four years after an Elite Eight trip, and he’s won 11 of his first 13 games (and each of his last seven) to match Duke’s record. While the strength of schedule might not measure up to the Blue Devils, SMU did hand the LSU Tigers a 10-point loss on December 14.
Here’s a quick refresher on the upcoming Duke basketball schedule from Saturday onward.
