Duke Men's Basketball Faces Clemson in High-Stakes ACC Showdown

2025-03-01

The Duke men’s basketball team, currently undefeated in ACC play with a 12-0 conference record, will face a significant test on Saturday as they take on the Clemson Tigers at Littlejohn Coliseum. The Tigers, tied for second in the ACC with a 10-2 record, are one of the few teams capable of challenging Duke’s dominance this season. A win for Duke would extend their lead in the conference race, while a Clemson victory would narrow the gap to just one game.

The game, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Eastern time, will be broadcast nationally on ESPN, with Dave O’Brien, Cory Alexander, and Dick Vitale on the call. Streaming options include FUBO, which offers a free trial for new subscribers.

Duke will be without graduate forward Mason Gillis, who remains sidelined due to illness. Gillis, a key reserve averaging 4.8 points and 2.5 rebounds per game, did not travel with the team to Clemson. His absence adds to Duke’s recent challenges, as the team has been at full strength only once in its last six games. Despite these setbacks, the Blue Devils have continued their winning streak, most recently defeating Syracuse 83-54.

Clemson, meanwhile, has been formidable at home, with only two teams managing to defeat them on their court this season—both in overtime. The Tigers will look to capitalize on Duke’s missing pieces and hand the Blue Devils their first ACC loss of the season. The outcome of this matchup could have significant implications for the ACC standings as the regular season progresses.
