Details such as broadcast info and game dates will be announced at a later time.
The Duke-Florida game will feature 2 of the nation’s top college basketball programs. The Gators are expected to enter the season as the No. 1 team in the nation after returning their entire front court for the third consecutive season.
The Arkansas vs. North Carolina matchup will also be intriguing. This will be a high-profile test for new UNC coach Michael Malone. Arkansas loses its starting back court to the NBA Draft this offseason, but is still expected to field a highly-competitive roster next year.
This will be the fourth annual ACC/SEC Challenge. After the conferences tied in the first year of the event, the SEC has won it in each of the past two seasons — including a dominant 14-2 result in 2024.
