toughest foe that Coach K and Duke will be facing

The non conference schedule for Duke Basketball is always notable to observe. Who are the top teams the Blue Devils are facing next season?
As one of the biggest and most prestigious programs in the sport, Duke Basketball’s schedule will always look the same each year. It’ll start out with the season opening Champions Classic against either Kansas Miles Plumlee Jersey, Michigan State or Kentucky. Then after some “cupcakes” the Blue Devils will take part in either a four or eight team tournament. Followed by a high profile opponent in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge along with another televised big matchup.

Last season, Duke took on four teams ranked in the top 12 in the non conference. They defeated Kentucky, Auburn and Texas Tech but suffered their only pre ACC loss to Gonzaga in the epic Maui Invitational Finals. 1 2 losses are usually the most the program loses early on in the season https://www.dukebluedevilsjersey.com/marshall-plumlee-jersey-c-36.html, as they never fall to mid major opponents not named the Bulldogs.

Duke’s non conference schedule for the 2019 20 season has been released https://www.dukebluedevilsjersey.com/ryan-kelly-jersey-c-35.html, with several intriguing matchups. Although a few mid major opponents aren’t as good as hoped after some big transfer decisions. They will also take part in the 2019 Empire Classic , facing off against Cal before either Georgetown or Texas.

For this look at Duke’s non conference opponents, neither the Hoyas https://www.dukebluedevilsjersey.com/seth-curry-jersey-c-34.html or Longhorns will be included formally since they aren’t guaranteed to face the Blue Devils. But I would say that either would rank 3rd among the rest of this list. So who is the toughest foe that Coach K and Duke will be facing?
