The 2023-24 Arizona Basketball season has kicked off, and shortly after a decisive victory over Morgan State, the Wildcats are gearing up for their second game. Facing the formidable No. 2 Duke in a high-profile match, the Wildcats are set to travel to Durham for what promises to be a thrilling showdown.
Despite the impressive start, Arizona will encounter challenges, including significant travel and a lively atmosphere. The clash with Duke is anticipated to be one of the season’s most exciting college basketball matchups. The Wildcats, with many new players, face a tough early test against the talented and well-coached Blue Devils.
Jon Scheyer, entering his second season as the head coach of Duke, has proven himself capable after taking over from the legendary Mike Krzyzewski in the previous season. With a 1-0 record and a skilled team, Scheyer is establishing his coaching prowess, posting a 27–9 (14–6) record last year with a Round of 32 finish in the NCAA Tournament.
As the Wildcats embark on the 2023-24 season, they returned to the court against Morgan State, securing a resounding 122-59 victory. However, their upcoming game against Duke is expected to be a formidable challenge. The Wildcats, led by Coach Tommy Lloyd in his third year, will need to adapt to the time change and thrive in a spirited environment for a chance at victory. The matchup is poised to be a captivating encounter, scheduled for a 5:00 P.M. tip-off in Tucson.
