It'll be played on Nov. 30. No time has been revealed. ESPN holds the broadcast rights all of the ACC/Big Ten games, and given the stature of these two schools, it's fair to expect this to be shown on the main ESPN channel.
This will mark just the eight game ever played between the Buckeyes and Blue Devils. Duke holds a 3-4 lead in the all-time series, having won the most recent game, 73-68, in Durham in 2012.
They have never faced each other in the Chris Holtmann era. This season, the fifth-year Ohio State head coach will try to pick up his first-ever win against Mike Krzyzewski as the legendary Duke figure coaches his final season of college basketball before retiring.
The Blue Devils have now been added to a Buckeyes schedule that already featured a road game at Xavier in the Gavitt Games, two of California, Florida and Seton Hall in the Fort Myers Tip-Off and Towson and New Orleans at home. Five other non-conference games – including the CBS Sports Classic – are yet to be announced.
