Duke basketball will play Arizona and Kansas in a five-day span this November

With the Duke basketball game against Arizona moving back a day, the week before Thanksgiving now gets crowded for the Blue Devils.

[autotag]Cooper Flagg[/autotag] and his Duke basketball teammates won’t get much rest the week before Thanksgiving this fall.

With the Monday news that the Blue Devils will now play Arizona on November 22, Duke now plays the Wildcats and the Kansas Jayhawks within a five-day span.

They’ll travel out west for a road battle with Caleb Love after Arizona came to Durham last year. They’ll then head to Las Vegas to play the Jayhawks for the 2024 Vegas Showdown on November 26.

The November gauntlet becomes part of a loaded non-conference schedule for head coach Jon Scheyer’s squad. Flagg and his teammates play Kentucky, Auburn, and George Mason before the end of the calendar year.

There’s also a looming Madison Square Garden matchup with Illinois that could potentially come in February.
