Florida basketball to face Duke Blue Devils in 2025 ACC/SEC Challenge
Florida basketball to face Duke Blue Devils in 2025 ACC/SEC Challenge NEWS: Matchups are set for the 2025 ACC/SEC Challenge, per sources. UF @ Duke UNC @ UK UVA @ Texas NC St @ Auburn Clemson @ Bama LVille @ Ark OU @ Wake SMU @ Vandy A&M @ Pitt Miss St @ GT Miami @ Ole Miss LSU @ BC VT@SC Tenn @ Cuse Mizzou @ ND UGA @ FSUhttps:// — Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) June 11, 2025 The Florida Gators are set to face the Duke Blue Devils in a marquee matchup during the 2025 ACC/SEC Challenge, according to a report from CBS Sports insider Jon Rothstein. The highly anticipated matchup between two of college basketball's premier brands will take place in Durham, North Carolina, as part of the annual conference showdown. The 2025 edition features several headline-grabbing matchups, but few are bigger than the Gators traveling to Cameron Indoor Stadium to take on Duke. This will mark Florida's first matchup against the Blue Devils since 2017, when the Orange and Blue were defeated in an 87-84 nail-biter. Some of the leading scorers from that game include Florida's Jalen Hudson (24 points) and Marvin Bagley III (30 points) from Duke's side. Florida and Duke have met 16 times dating back to their first matchup on Feb. 26, 1932, with the Gators winning just three of those contests against the powerhouse Blue Devils. The ACC/SEC Challenge has quickly become a staple of the nonconference schedule, offering fans high-stakes showdowns before conference play begins. For Florida, the road test presents an early opportunity for Todd Golden to get his players prepared for what's expected to be a grueling road to another championship run. The Gators are bringing back a strong core from last year's national championship team, including elite guard play and one of the top transfer classes in the country. Duke, meanwhile, continues to reload with top-tier recruiting talent. Other notable matchups in the 2025 ACC/SEC Challenge include North Carolina at Kentucky, Clemson at Alabama, NC State at Auburn, Virginia at Texas and Louisville at Arkansas. Tip-off times and television assignments for the Florida-Duke game will be announced at a later date.

Notre Dame basketball will host Missouri in the 2025 ACC/SEC Challenge
Notre Dame basketball will host Missouri in the 2025 ACC/SEC Challenge NEWS: Matchups are set for the 2025 ACC/SEC Challenge, per sources. UF @ Duke UNC @ UK UVA @ Texas NC St @ Auburn Clemson @ Bama LVille @ Ark OU @ Wake SMU @ Vandy A&M @ Pitt Miss St @ GT Miami @ Ole Miss LSU @ BC VT@SC Tenn @ Cuse Mizzou @ ND UGA @ FSUhttps:// — Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) June 11, 2025 One of the more fun events for Notre Dame men's basketball is the ACC/SEC Challenge, and according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports, the Irish will be hosting Missouri. Both teams went different paths last year, as the Tigers went 22-11 during the regular season, then lost to Drake in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament. As for Notre Dame, they went 15-18 and didn't make the postseason. The Irish hold the all-time series lead with a 27-12 record according to Google's AI Overview. However, the last time these two was played in 2011, and that one didn't go the Irish's way. The two conferences feature some very good teams, as the rest of the slate has plenty of must-watch games. Florida at Duke, North Carolina at Kentucky, Virginia at Texas are a few of the best. The clash between the ACC and SEC will be a fun watch. Hopefully head coach Micah Shrewsberry turns the program around this year, as he's compiled a 28-38 record, missing the tournament both times. It was a slight improvement last year, but with an improved roster, Notre Dame has a chance to play in the postseason this coming season.
