The Duke basketball program improved to 5-0 on the young 2025-26 season with a 78-66 victory over No. 24 Kansas at Madison Square Garden in the State Farm Champions Classic. It wasn't the prettiest game from the Blue Devils on either side of the ball, but freshman superstar Cameron Boozer still found a way to dominate in so many different facets of the game. The win over Kansas marks the ninth straight win for Duke at Madison Square Garden, as well as the team's first victory over a ranked opponent this season. There's still a ton for the Blue Devils to improve on, but with lots of sloppy play, a 12-point victory over a ranked team is a promising sign.
