Duke’s biggest preseason advantage could be the players fans already know

Duke men's basketball returns four key contributors — Cayden Boozer, Caleb Foster, Patrick Ngongba II, and Dame Sarr — who combined for 1,131 points, 533 rebounds, and 311 assists last season. Head coach Jon Scheyer enters his fifth season building around this experienced core alongside three transfers and the nation's second-ranked recruiting class. The Blue Devils, coming off a 35-3 season, will hold a preseason scrimmage against Belmont on October 8 at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
