Jon Scheyer and the Duke Blue Devils proved they are willing to play anyone with a highly competitive non-conference schedule, which includes five programs inside Bart Torvik's top 25: Kansas, Kentucky, Auburn, Arizona, and Illinois at Madison Square Garden in February. Is this kind of slate good enough to prepare Cooper Flagg and the rest of Duke's young team for a deep run in March?

Arizona and UCLA will play each other at neutral sites in three of the next four seasons, and while we are happy to see these teams keep meeting up we'd like to see them be willing to play each other at home. Stanford and Oregon will face each other this season as well, keeping Pac-12 matchups alive in the non conference.

We close the show discussing Marquette's 2025 recruiting class and Shaka Smart's ability to navigate high school recruiting and player development, as well as Georgetown's recent moves under coach Ed Cooley.
