USD To Play Duke In 2017-18 Men's Basketball Season

Unversity of South Dakota Athletic Department

Basketball players for the University of South Dakota are headed for Durham, North Carolina this upcoming season. USD leaders say the men’s team is scheduled to play the Duke Blue Devils.

Duke has a strong reputation as one of the best men’s basketball programs in the country. The Devils have 16 final four appearances and five national championships. Since 2000, Duke has won 132 consecutive home games against non-conference opponents.

This is the first ever meeting in men’s hoops between USD and any team in the ACC. The Coyotes and Blue Devils clash on December 2, 2017.
