Duke returns home: How to watch, stream Blue Devils vs. Louisville men’s basketball
With four regular-season games remaining, Duke’s closing schedule certainly appears beneficial.
Starting with Monday night’s game with last-place Louisville, the Blue Devils play three consecutive games at Cameron Indoor Stadium before closing the regular season at rival North Carolina.
Duke (19-8, 10-6 ACC) is 13-0 on its home court this season, putting it in position to stack up wins before heading to the ACC tournament in Greensboro next month. After facing Louisville (4-23, 2-14) on Monday night, the Blue Devils have home games Saturday with Virginia Tech (16-11, 6-10) and Feb. 28 with N.C. State (20-7, 10-6).
Louisville’s trip to Durham includes a special twist for the Duke program. Nolan Smith, a starting guard along with Duke head coach Jon Scheyer on Duke’s 2010 NCAA championship team, makes his first appearance at Cameron since joining Louisville’s staff as an assistant coach last April.
The popular Smith also won the 2011 ACC player of the year award during his senior season with the Blue Devils. He worked on Duke’s staff under former coach Mike Krzyzewski from 2016-21 and was an assistant coach during Krzyzewski’s final season before retirement last year.
Family considerations factored into his move to Louisville. Smith was born there and his late father, Derek Smith, helped the Cardinals win the 1980 NCAA championship.
