For the second time in three seasons, IU is set to face Duke in the annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
After traveling to Durham in 2015, the Hoosiers will be host to the Blue Devils this season, the conferences announced Thursday. The date and time will be announced later.
This is the teams’ fourth meeting in this event, with Duke winning all three matchups. IU is 3-5 overall against Duke.
IU has won the last four games at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, including a victory over eventual national champion North Carolina last season.
The matchup with Duke will be another huge early season test in Coach Archie Miller’s first season at the helm of IU.
In the nonconference slate, IU will play three ACC foes, all of which should be ranked in the top-20 teams in the country heading into the season. In addition to hosting Duke, IU will play at Louisville and against Notre Dame in the Crossroads Classic in Indianapolis.
The Hoosiers will also travel to Seton Hall for the Gavitt Games.
