At the end of the week, a portion of the Duke men’s basketball schedule was released. Yet again, Coach K has put together another tough schedule.

The ACC portion of the schedule hasn’t completely been released (ie dates and times), but we do know who they are playing at home. The Blue Devils will open their ACC schedule at home versus Wake Forest. That is the first of nine ACC home games, as Coach K is going for ACC win number 400 (he currently sits at 388). Other ACC teams Duke will play at Cameron Indoor Stadium include NC State and North Carolina in February, along with Boston College, Maryland, Virginia Tech, Clemson, Miami, and Georgia Tech.

The Blue Devils non-conference schedule was released earlier in the week. It could include 13 games against 2012 NCAA Tournament teams.

They will be headed to the Bahamas for the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament from November 22-24. The eight-team tournament features Louisville, Missouri, Memphis, VCU, Stanford, Northern Iowa, and Minnesota.

Following that tournament, Duke will once again play Ohio State in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The game will be played at Cameron on November 28th.

In a pair of neutral-site matchups, Duke will face Temple on December 8th in East Rutherford, NJ, and Davidson on January 2nd in Charlotte.

The big non-conference game comes during the State Farms Champions Classic at the Georgia Dome. Duke will face reigning national champion Kentucky on November 13th.

*The entire ACC schedule won’t be released until late August.
