Duke MBB Scheduling: 2025-26

I'd love to take a Bay area road trip and see Duke play at Cal and Stanford.

Any thoughts/suggestions on the availability of tickets at those two venues?

Historically, outside of Stanford's halcyon days of the late '90s–early '00s, both venues are easy and cheap to get into.

That said, Duke will obviously draw a crowd. I wouldn't be surprised if they - at least initially - make you buy a full season plan to get the Duke game, but hopefully the have a mini plan that includes Duke. Either way, I'd just sign up for any season ticket notification you can and be prepared to buy season tix or overpay for the single game on Stubhub.

For what it's worth, Haas Pavilion in Berkeley is cooler and more unique than Maples Pavilion. If I were heading back to the Bay to see Duke play, I'd hope to make a college basketball weekend of it and catch a Saint Mary's or San Francisco home game as well. Or you can fork over an arm as well as a leg to see the Warriors at Chase Center.

Too late to edit the above, but I'd like to add that Cal's Haas Pavilion seats almost 5,000 more than does Stanford's Maples Pavilion.

Just so everyone can keep up, here is where the non-con schedule stands at the moment:

Nov. 4 – vs. Texas (Charlotte)
Nov. 11 – at Army (Veterans Day)
Nov. 14 – vs. Indiana State (Cameron)
Nov. 18 – vs. Kansas (Champions Classic, MSG)
Nov. 27 – vs. Arkansas (Chicago)
early Dec – ACC-SEC challenge TBA but likely a road game
Dec tba – at Michigan State
Dec 20 – vs. Texas Tech (MSG)
Feb – vs. Michigan (Washington DC)

Have to think that is 7 quad 1 games (the neutral games need to be vs top 50 NET teams, which all of them seem likely to be). Duke played 12 quad 1 games a year ago. Assuming the ACC isn't total trash again (can we get like 10 teams into the top 75 in the NET?) then we will likely be north of 15 quad 1 games when all is said and done.

Just moving this so that we can add Florida to the schedule.

Did I get the most recent list?

By my count there are 4 missing non conference games. (18 ACC + 9 possible post season + 9 listed non conference = 36 of possible 40)

Since we're playing Florida, Texas, AND Arkansas, do we get to be honorary members of the SEC?

At bare minimum when Selection Sunday comes around there will be three very conspicuous data points by which to compare us and the top teams from the SEC... not that the Selection Committee has a great track record of actually using such data.

Your pattern works.

Your (entirely accurate) comment caused me to look up membership. I can find indications online that Bubba is done; his term expired this spring (I can also find AI incorrectly telling me the opposite). Does anyone know if anyone else from an ACC school is joining this coming year? I hope so but can't find anything online. Maybe the new members aren't announced yet.

Wiki says he worked at ESPN for 36 years, ugh. But no Cheat connections thankfully.

Wildhack? Sounds like he should be at Va Tech not Syracuse.
