On Tuesday, November 11th, No. 12 Louisville and No. 9 Kentucky will meet at the KFC Yum! Center in the Battle of the Bluegrass. Although this contest has absolutely nothing to do with the Duke basketball program, it could give the Blue Devils and their fans a ton of insight into how easily the program could run through the Atlantic Coast Conference. Through the 2024-25 season, Duke absolutely mowed through a mediocre ACC, going 19-1 in conference play en route to winning the ACC regular season and ACC Tournament titles. Heading into this year, Duke and Louisville were viewed as the top tier in the conference, but it's been difficult to decipher exactly how big the gap is between the two squads, and even which is the better of the two.
This arch rivalry matchup on Tuesday could decide if Duke basketball will mow through ACC once again
