The highly anticipated ACC game has been pushed back 30 minutes because of a potential conflict with the end of the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Indiana Pacers game, which also airs on ESPN.

Duke leads the all-time series 113-33 against Clemson and is 13-4 vs. Tigers coach Brad Brownell . The Blue Devils have won four of their past five games vs. the Tigers with their lone loss coming at Littlejohn Coliseum on Jan. 14, 2023.
