Duke To Visit Indiana For The ACC - Big Ten Challenge

It was announced today that Duke will travel for this year's ACC- Big Ten Challenge. 

This will be the first time in three years that they will hit the road instead of hosting an opponent. "according to   ESPN's Jeff Goodman.

Duke will play Indiana at Assembly Hall in Bloomington in the annual event. Duke hosted the Hoosiers at Cameron Indoor Stadium in a 94-74 victory in 2015 but has not played Indiana on the road since 2005. Goodman tweeted that the date and time will be announced later today. "according to http://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2017/06/duke-mens-basketball-to-visit-indiana-new-head-coach-archie-miller-in-accbig-ten-challenge

Duke is  16-2 all-time in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge and 3-0 against the Hoosiers in the event.

Indiana fired head coach Tom Crean after a disappointing 18-16 season last year and hired Archie Miller away from Dayton to replace him. Like Duke, Indiana is losing a lot of production to the NBA Draft in James Blackmon Jr., Thomas Bryant, and OG Anunoby, and they will likely be led by a veteran backcourt of Josh Newkirk and Robert Johnson.
