DALLAS, Texas – The No. 4-seed Duke men's basketball team got its first look at American Airlines Center on Thursday, holding a practice session before meeting with media members ahead of the Blue Devils' regional semifinal matchup versus No. 1-seed Houston on Friday evening.
Duke's day started with a 15-minute open practice segment before a closed practice at American Airlines Center. Following the conclusion of practice, head coach Jon Scheyer and student-athletes Jeremy Roach, Tyrese Proctor and Kyle Filipowski met with media members to preview the Sweet 16 clash between the Blue Devils and Cougars. The two teams square off at approximately 9:39 p.m., ET, following the conclusion of the first South Regional semifinal between Marquette and NC State. The game will be broadcast on CBS, with Ian Eagle, Grant Hill, Bill Raftery and Tracy Wolfson on the call.Â
Duke (26-8) is making its 29th appearance in the Sweet 16 and 19th across the past 25 NCAA Tournaments and take on the Cougars (32-4) for the first time in program history.
