Duke basketball: Detailing matchup against Arkansas in ACC/SEC Challenge

The Duke basketball and Arkansas matchup should be one of the best of the season.

Arkansas will host the Duke basketball program in the inaugural ACC vs. SEC Challenge this season and despite the widespread desire for a matchup between the Blue Devils and Kentucky, this unexpected could be a battle of Top-15 teams.

Duke will step into enemy territory in Bud Walton Arena, where it will undoubtedly face a rowdy sold-out crowd.

Historically, the two teams have met four times, with both schools winning two games.

One of the more significant encounters was the National Championship in 1994, which Arkansas emerged victorious by defeating Duke, 76-72.
