Jon Scheyer never holds back from giving his team an extremely challenging non-conference slate, and the 2025-26 season is no different. The Blue Devils have arguably the toughest non-con slate in all of college basketball next season, and scheduling a slate so grueling could either be a great thing for the squad, or something that hurts it as March begins to roll around.
Scheyer and the Blue Devils kick off their non-conference slate of games in their first game of the season, when Duke takes on Texas in the inaugural Dickie V Classic at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, NC.
