- Duke men's basketball national champions Jon Scheyer and Bobby Hurley will meet on the hardwood as opposing head coaches when Duke hosts Arizona State in the Brotherhood Run charity exhibition game at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 27 at 7 p.m., on ACC Network. Proceeds from the event will benefit Duke Children's Hospital.
- John Schriffen and Cory Alexander will call the action on ACC Network. David Shumate and John Roth team up for the broadcast on the Blue Devil Sports Network.
- Hurley, a 2011 Duke Athletics Hall of Fame inductee whose number 11 jersey was retired by Duke on Feb. 28, 1993, broke the NCAA men's basketball record for career assists with 1,076 and sparked the Blue Devils to a four-year record of 119-26 (.821) with three Final Four appearances and back-to-back national championships in 1991 and 1992. In addition to his record-breaking assists, the 1992 NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player and two-time All-America selection (1992, 1993) amassed career totals of 1,731 points, 306 rebounds and 202 steals from 1989-93.
- Duke and Arizona State have met on the hardwood just once, a 64-53 Blue Devils' victory at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 25, 2009. Scheyer, in his senior season at Duke, recorded game highs of 16 points and six assists, while also grabbing four rebounds.
- Duke returns two starters from last season's Elite Eight squad, junior Tyrese Proctor and sophomore Caleb Foster, while also signing the nation's top-ranked recruiting class and also making four additions through the transfer portal.

- Sunday's matchup features three of the five youngest players in Division I men's basketball. Arizona State's Jayden Quaintance (7/11/2007) is the youngest, with Duke's Cooper Flagg (12/21/2006) second and Khaman Maluach (9/14/2006) fifth.

- During a six-game stretch (Nov. 12-Dec. 4) before conference action begins, No. 7 Duke plays against four teams that are ranked in the Associated Press preseason top-25 poll (No. 1 Kansas, No. 10 Arizona, No. 11 Auburn and No. 23 Kentucky) and were at least a 4-seed in last season's NCAA Tournament.
- Duke plays three true road games before Christmas for the first time since the 1990-91 season.
- With the release of the Associated Press preseason poll on Oct. 14, Duke was ranked No. 7 -- extending a notable streak.
- The Blue Devils have now been ranked in the top 10 at least once in 29 consecutive seasons -- the longest active streak nationally. The next closest program is Kansas, which has held a top-10 ranking at some point in each of the last 19 seasons.
- The No. 7 ranking also marked the 17th consecutive season that the Blue Devils made their debut in the top 10.
- Former Duke All-American and two-time team captain Jon Scheyer made history with his head-coaching debut in 2022-23, when he became just the third coach in ACC history to win the ACC Tournament in their first season and the first to win an ACC title as both a player (2009, 2010) and as a coach (2023).
- Duke posted 27-9 records in each of Scheyer's first two seasons as head coach.
- The Blue Devils won the ACC Tournament in 2023, and advanced to the Elite Eight in 2024.
- In 2023-24, Duke was ranked inside the top-25 for the entirety of the season, concluding at No. 9 in the final Associated Press poll, an upgrade from the Blue Devils' No. 12 final ranking in 2022-23.Â
- Scheyer led the 2023-24 team to three victories over opponents ranked in the top-25, with wins over No. 18 Michigan State, No. 10 Baylor and No. 2 Houston, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament as a top-five seed for the second straight season.
- Among Duke head coaches in their first two seasons, Scheyer posted the most overall wins (54), most conference wins (29) and the most NCAA Tournament wins (4). Scheyer's overall win percentage (.750) through his first two seasons is the best since Eddie Cameron in 1928-30 (.750/30-10), and his conference win percentage (.725) is the best since Harold Bradley in 1950-52 (.743).
- Scheyer also became Duke's fastest head coach to reach the 50-win milestone, doing so in 65 games, bettering the standard set by Vic Bubas, who hit 50 wins in 69 contests from 1959-62.Â
- In addition, Scheyer is just the third men's basketball head coach in ACC history to lead his program to a conference tournament title and an NCAA Elite Eight appearance in his first two seasons, joining Bill Guthridge (North Carolina, 1998) and fellow Blue Devils coach, Vic Bubas (1960).
- The Northbrook, Illinois, native has been integral in the recruiting and development of several young Duke stars since joining the staff in 2013-14, and as head coach, has landed the nation's No. 1-ranked recruiting class twice (2022 and 2024) and No. 2-ranked recruiting class (2023).Â
- Duke has signed a top-three recruiting class per ESPN in every season since Scheyer joined the staff, including the No. 1 class six times in 11 seasons (2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2022, 2024).
- The third class fully recruited and signed by Jon Scheyer was ranked No. 1 nationally by both ESPN and 247Sports.Â
- It marked the third consecutive top-two class signed by Scheyer after inking the nation's No. 1 class in 2022 for his first season as Duke's head coach.Â
- The class was made up of six players, including five top-25 players in 247Sports' rankings, and consists of five-star prospects Cooper Flagg (No. 1), Khaman Maluach (No. 4), Isaiah Evans (No. 13), Kon Knueppel (No. 18) and Patrick Ngongba II (No. 21), and four-star recruit Darren Harris (No. 40).
- Flagg (Maine), Evans (N.C.), Knueppel (Wisc.) and Harris (Va.) were all named the players of the year in their respective states.
- Arizona State University, located in Tempe, has an enrollment of 41,159 undergraduate students and 13,194 graduate students. The Sun Devils are members of the Big 12 Conference.
- Bobby Hurley enters his 10th season on the Sun Devils' bench with 155 victories, ranking third among Arizona State head coaches. The former Duke guard has guided ASU to four 20-win campaigns and three trips to the NCAA tournament.
- Arizona State's roster consists of five returners, seven transfers and four freshmen. The Sun Devils return just one of their top five scorer's from last season's 14-18 squad, as redshirt senior guard Adam Miller brings 12.0 points per game back to this year's lineup.
- Among ASU's group of freshmen are two newcomers that were ranked in the top 25 of the 2024 recruiting class, according to ESPN. Jayden Quaintance, listed as a 6-9 forward out of Word of God Christian Academy (Raleigh, N.C.), was ranked 17th overall, second at center (behind Duke's Khaman Maluach) and third from North Carolina (behind Duke's Isaiah Evans), while Joson Sanon, a 6-5 guard from Saxton Rivers, Vermont, was positioned No. 23 overall.
- Last season, Arizona State topped the Big 12 and ranked 24th nationally in turnover margin (+3.3), and finished second in the conference and 19th nationally in fast break points (14.3 per game).
