It's time to break out those pens and mark a few more dates down on your calendars: Duke's 2018-19 schedule is now complete.
The ACC announced its full regular-season slate Thursday morning, with the Blue Devils opening their conference season Jan. 5 when they host Clemson. Duke will end its season, as usual, with a matchup against North Carolina March 9, when the teams meet down Tobacco Road in Chapel Hill. Major home contests include the Blue Devils' first tussle with the Tar Heels Feb. 20 and a home battle against Virginia Jan. 19.
Duke's toughest stretch will come in mid-February when it will go on the road for back-to-back games against Virginia and Louisville before returning to Cameron to host two straight in-state foes in N.C. State and North Carolina. The Blue Devils will also get to face former associate head coach, Jeff Capel, when they visit Pittsburgh in late January.
Duke is set to open its season Nov. 6 when it takes on Kentucky in the Champions Classic in Indianapolis. The Blue Devils will then go to Hawaii for the Maui Jim Maui Invitational from Nov. 19-21. The full nonconference schedule can be found here.

A junior from just outside Philadelphia, Mitchell is probably reminding you how the Eagles won the Super Bowl this year and that the Phillies are definitely on the rebound. Outside of The Chronicle, he majors in Economics, minors in Statistics and is working toward the PJMS certificate, in addition to playing trombone in the Duke University Marching Band. And if you're getting him a sandwich with beef and cheese outside the state of Pennsylvania, you best not call it a "Philly cheesesteak."
