Duke University's highly anticipated December 21 matchup against the University of Michigan has been called off, officials confirmed on Tuesday.
In its place, the Blue Devils will travel to Madison Square Garden to face Texas Tech University in a neutral‑site contest that will be streamed live on Prime Video.
The decision follows a scheduling conflict that forced the ACC program to reshuffle its non‑conference slate, and it will mark the second meeting between the two teams in as many seasons.
The upcoming game serves as a revenge opportunity for Duke, which fell 82‑81 in the 2025‑26 edition after a nail‑biting finish.
Duke currently holds a 2‑1 edge in the all‑time series against the Red Raiders, a statistic that adds extra intrigue to the neutral‑court showdown.
Broadcast and Stakes
Prime Video will carry the broadcast as part of a broader partnership between Duke and Amazon, giving fans a chance to watch the contest from anywhere.
The contest also underscores the growing trend of high‑profile programs seeking marquee neutral‑site games to boost exposure and revenue.
Coach Matt Norlander, who has been tracking the scheduling shifts, said the new arrangement reflects a strategic pivot toward more flexible non‑conference planning.
