Duke Basketball Reveals Starters for Home Game Against Hofstra

Thirty minutes before tipoff, the game’s official stats broadcast revealed the Blue Devils’ starting five. Second-year Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer is rolling out the same starters he employed in Saturday’s 80-56 victory in Cameron against Charlotte:

Senior guard Jeremy Roach
Freshman guard Caleb Foster
Freshman guard Jared McCain
Sophomore forward Mark Mitchell
Sophomore forward Kyle Filipowski

After facing the Pride, the Blue Devils will have a week off to handle exams and prepare for their primetime showdown against the No. 6 Baylor Bears in New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Dec. 20 at 7 p.m. (ESPN). Then, Duke has the longest break on its schedule before welcoming Queens to Durham for the team’s final regular season non-conference bout on Dec. 30.
