DURHAM, N.C. – Duke Athletics and ISP Sports announced on Monday that CARQUEST Auto Parts will serve as the title sponsor of the Blue Devils' basketball game against Butler scheduled for Saturday, December 4 at the IZOD Center at the Meadowlands Complex in East Rutherford, N.J.
The “CARQUEST Auto Parts Classic”, which will tip-off at 3:15 p.m. and be televised live by ESPN, will feature the Blue Devils and Bulldogs, who played in last year's NCAA championship game won by Duke, 61-59.
"The 'CARQUEST Auto Parts Classic' featuring the outstanding programs from Butler and Duke Universities continues the IZOD Center's unmatched tradition of presenting the best in major college basketball. We are delighted to welcome CARQUEST to the Meadowlands Sports Complex family," stated New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority President and CEO Dennis Robinson.
"We are grateful that CARQUEST Auto Parts has signed on as the title sponsor of this game," said Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski. "We always enjoy traveling to that area of the country due to the strong support we receive. It should be an exciting game. Butler has outstanding personnel and coaching, and we will have our hands full on December 4."
“We're honored to be selected for the game, and thankful that CARQUEST Auto Parts is the title sponsor,” said Butler head coach Brad Stevens. “Obviously, playing the #1 team in the nation in Duke is very difficult, but I know our guys will be excited for the challenge.”
Duke has a long history at the IZOD Center, amassing an 18-1 (.947) record including five NCAA East Regional championship victories. This will mark Butler's first game at the Meadowlands.
The Blue Devils return two starters and nine lettermen from last year's team that went 35-5, won both the ACC regular season and tournament crowns and captured the program's fourth NCAA Championship. Butler is coming off last year's 33-5 campaign that included the Horizon League regular season and tournament titles.
