The Duke basketball program kicked off its 2025-26 season with a 75-60 victory over Texas in the first annual Dick Vitale Invitational. It was a sloppy contest for the Blue Devils in several facets of the game, but Duke head coach Jon Scheyer's biggest takeaway was the elite defense from his Blue Devils across 40 minutes. Duke made the Longhorns' ball handlers' lives extremely difficult, playing up off switches and hedging everything. Especially in the second half, Texas had virtually no opportunities to get out in transition, and really had no easy shots at all for the most part.
