The Duke women’s basketball team released its complete schedule for the 2024-25 season on Tuesday, setting dates for the most important games of the year.
Duke plays the North Carolina Tar Heels twice, as they always do. The Blue Devils travel to Chapel Hill on January 9 before hosting UNC for the final home game of the year on February 27.
Defending ACC regular-season champion Virginia Tech comes to Cameron Indoor Stadium on December 8, and NC State, whom Duke stunned in Durham for a top-10 upset last season, now gets to play the Blue Devils in front of a home crowd on February 3
The Blue Devils already knew they would play South Carolina, the defending national champions who went undefeated last season, on the road on December 5 as part of the ACC/SEC Challenge.
The Blue Devils made the Sweet 16 last season after upsetting 2-seed Ohio State in the second round, and head coach Kara Lawson kept her four leading scorers from that roster. Add in five-star freshman Toby Fournier (who dunked in practice already) and former five-star prospect Riley Nelson from the transfer portal, and Lawson seems poised for her best season yet.
