Duke will reportedly play Auburn in 2024 ACC/SEC matchup

According to a Wednesday report from CBS Sports, the Blue Devils will host Auburn for a non-conference battle next season.

Duke basketball added another member to its 2024-25 non-conference schedule, according to a Wednesday report from CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein.

Rothstein said the matchups are set for the upcoming ACC/SEC Challenge with the Blue Devils hosting the Auburn Tigers.

The Tigers, under head coach Bruce Pearl, have made five of the last six NCAA Tournaments. Auburn made a run to the Final Four as a No. 5 seed in 2019, and Pearl’s team drew a No. 2 seed in 2022 and a No. 4 seed this past season. They’ve failed to survive opening weekend in any of the last three editions of March Madness, however.

The Tigers and Blue Devils have squared off four times in school history. Duke won all four times. The two schools have only played once since 1981, a 2018 battle in Hawaii which Duke won 78-72.

The Blue Devils already have the Kansas Jayhawks, Arizona Wildcats, and Kentucky Wildcats on the non-conference schedule with a February game against Illinois at Madison Square Garden expected to be added.

A date and time for the game will be announced later.
