DURHAM, N.C. (Interstat) — A marquee early-season clash is set for Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025, as the Duke Blue Devils host the Kansas Jayhawks in a men’s NCAA Division I basketball showdown at the Wellness, Recreation & Athletic Center in New York.

The undefeated Blue Devils (4-0) have been dominant, winning each game by at least 15 points, including a 100-62 rout of Indiana State last Friday. Freshman phenom Cameron Boozer leads the charge, coming off a 35-point, 12-rebound performance.

Kansas (3-1) arrives after a 76-57 victory over Princeton, where center Flory Bidunga posted a dominant 25-point, 10-rebound double-double. The Jayhawks’ lone blemish is a 74-87 road loss to North Carolina.

This neutral-site game at Duke’s designated home arena will be a major test for both teams. Kansas looks to secure a statement win against a top-tier opponent, while Duke aims to protect its perfect record and solidify its top ranking against a perennial national power. The matchup in the paint between Duke’s Boozer and Kansas’s Bidunga will be a focal point.
