The last time the Blue Devils visited West Point was November 6, 1997, a 78-45 Duke victory. That game ranks as the sixth highest attended game (5,055) in Christl Arena history, only behind five editions of the Army-Navy Game.
Army Director of Athletics Mike Buddie on hosting Duke in 2025, “We are thrilled to compete against one of the finest basketball programs in the country, especially on Veteran’s Day, which holds significant meaning to both programs.”
Army and Duke squared off this past Friday night (11/8/24) from Cameron Indoor Stadium, a 100-58, Blue Devils win.
This matchup holds additional significance due to former Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s deep connections at both institutions; he is a West Point graduate and began his coaching career with Army before his storied tenure at Duke.
