How to watch or stream Duke vs. Oregon State college basketball game on Thursday
Five games into the new season, the time has arrived for No. 8 Duke’s schedule to step up in class.
The Blue Devils (4-1) have played just one team from one of basketball’s Power Six conferences. Starting Thursday at the Phil Knight Legacy tournament in Portland, Oregon, Duke will face a steady diet of teams from larger conferences.
It starts with Oregon State on Thanksgiving Day at Portland’s Veterans Memorial Coliseum. As the tournament progresses, Duke will face either Florida or Xavier on Friday. Duke could face Gonzaga or Purdue or West Virginia in Sunday’s final day of PK Legacy play.
“It’s a great gauge just to see where we’re at right now,” Duke coach Jon Scheyer said. “It goes quick. We know it’s gonna be three high level games no matter what the outcome is. But I’m excited and just want us to for it.”
Duke’s lone game against a fellow power conference team was on Nov. 15 at Indianapolis when No. 3 Kansas rallied late to beat the Blue Devils, 69-64, in the Champions Classic. Other than that, Duke has easily disposed of Jacksonville, 71-44, South-Carolina Upstate, 84-38, Delaware, 92-58, and Bellarmine, 74-57.
After the PK Legacy, Duke faces three more power conference teams in a row, including home games with Ohio State on Nov. 30 and Boston College in the ACC opener on Dec. 3.
The Blue Devils travel to play No. 25 Iowa on Dec. 6 in the Jimmy V Classic at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
Lessons from that Kansas loss, Scheyer said, should help the Blue Devils with this upcoming stretch.
“I think we learned a lot in the Kansas game,” Scheyer said. “We can’t go into it tentative or unsure. We need to go after it. And then let’s see what happens.”
