Green Bay Phoenix at Duke Blue Devils
DURHAM (Interstat) — Green Bay will begin its women’s NCAA Division I basketball season Tuesday as the visiting Phoenix meet Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, N.C. Both teams enter at 0-0, giving each an early opportunity to establish rhythm before nonconference schedules intensify. The opening tip is set for Tuesday at Cameron Indoor Stadium, where Duke will be the home team and Green Bay the visitor.
Green Bay’s most recent result was a 75-58 loss at Minnesota. Duke’s most recent result was a 70-58 loss at UCLA. The Phoenix will seek a road breakthrough against a Blue Devils team opening at home. Green Bay’s upcoming schedule includes home games against Loyola Chicago, Wisconsin, Texas, Eastern Illinois and Wis.-Stout, plus road matchups with Illinois State, Northern Iowa, Robert Morris, Youngstown State and Utah. That slate will test the Phoenix at home and away before conference play arrives.
Duke’s future schedule features home contests against North Texas, Marshall, Fordham, South Carolina and Virginia Tech, a meeting with Connecticut in Boston, and road games at Norfolk State, Columbia, UCLA in Phoenix and Texas in Las Vegas. The Blue Devils will aim to use Cameron Indoor Stadium’s familiar setting before that stretch unfolds, while Green Bay looks to build an early road identity.
The matchup places two programs against each other in a season opener that could reveal early rotations and defensive priorities. Duke’s ability to control the paint and Green Bay’s perimeter patience are likely to shape the pace, though neither team has current-season game film to rely on. With both rosters beginning a new campaign, the contest offers a clear first look at how each side manages pressure, turnovers and late-game execution. The game also gives both teams a chance to evaluate newcomers and returning contributors in a competitive setting before their schedules grow more crowded.
Cameron Indoor Stadium provides a demanding backdrop for Green Bay’s opener, and Duke will try to settle in quickly against an opponent opening its season. The Blue Devils will also begin a stretch that includes several home dates and trips to neutral and road sites, making the opener a useful measuring point for rotations and early-season conditioning. Green Bay, meanwhile, will open a schedule that mixes home contests with several challenging road assignments, giving the Phoenix an immediate chance to test its depth and decision-making. The Blue Devils and Phoenix will each look to set an early tone before moving deeper into their respective nonconference slates.
