The No. 3-ranked Duke Blue Devils (24-2, 13-1 ACC) will take on No. 1 Michigan this Saturday in what could be the best matchup of the entire 2025-26 college basketball season. Both teams are red hot heading into a contest between arguably the top two squads in the sport.
Michigan has now won 11 straight games following an extremely impressive 91-80 victory on the road over No. 1 Purdue. Mackey Arena is one of the toughest road environments to play in in the country, and the Wolverines had no problem.
As for the Blue Devils, they have found a serious groove since their heartbreaking loss at the buzzer to No. 16 North Carolina (20-6, 8-5 ACC). Since that crushing defeat, Duke has won its last three games by an average margin of 22 points.
