Duke and Pittsburgh both have momentum after big wins last week heading into their matchup Saturday at 3 p.m. If the Blue Devils can pull off a road upset, they will likely be in the mix for their fifth straight bowl appearance, but a victory will not be easy against the Panthers and star running back James Conner.
Despite battling back from a 10-point deficit in the final five minutes of Tuesday night's matchup against No. 7 Kansas, top-ranked Duke suffered its first loss of the season, falling 77-75 to the Jayhawks in New York. Sophomore Luke Kennard starred for the Blue Devils, tallying 22 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the field and nailing a pair of triples. Freshman Frank Jackson also hit two 3-pointers in the waning minutes, including a game-tying triple with 20 seconds left, but a contested jumper by Kansas' Frank Mason III in the closing seconds propelled the Jayhawks to victory.

Duke has lost in the Champions Classic in two of the last three years and will look to reverse that trend with a statement win in its third game of the season.
Duke recovered from a slow start to cruise past Grand Canyon 96-61 Saturday night in its second win in as many days at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Head coach Mike Krzyzewski said in his postgame press conference that he does not expect Jayson Tatum, Marques Bolden or Harry Giles to play Tuesday against No. 3 Kansas in New York.

Duke opens the season this weekend with home games on back to back days against Marist Friday at 7 p.m. and Grand Canyon Saturday 5:30 p.m. The Blue Devils are shorthanded in the frontcourt without Marques Bolden or Harry Giles, likely giving Chase Jeter and Javin DeLaurier more chances to get on the floor and make plays in the season's first two games.

The Blue Devils will welcome No. 15 North Carolina to Wallace Wade Stadium Thursday night at 7:30, looking for their first win against their Tobacco Road rivals in three years.
