Where to watch Duke vs. Texas: TV channel, stream, odds, spread, prediction, pick
No. 6 Duke begins its bid to return to the Final Four with a marquee non-conference game against Texas at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Tuesday. While Most of the top players in the 2025 recruiting cycle made their respective debuts Monday On opening night of the 2025-26 college basketball season, Duke forward Cameron Boozer — one of the top three picks in the 2026 NBA Draft — will make his first appearance at the college level against the Longhorns on Tuesday.
The Blue Devils reached the Final Four earlier this spring for the first time in the Jon Scheyer era. Duke has seen several players leave the program, including CBS Sports National Player of the Year Cooper Flagg, as well as lottery picks Kon Knueppel and Khamaun Malauch. Still, there is reason to buy into the hype because of Boozer’s arrival.
Texas, meanwhile, is entering a new era. The Longhorns fired coach Rodney Terry after a First Four exit and hired former Xavier coach Sean Miller to lead the program. Texas said goodbye to star freshman Tre Johnson, who was selected No. 6 overall by the Washington Wizards earlier this summer.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of Duke’s game against Texas on Tuesday.

It’s no secret that Duke lost most of its core on a team that made it to the Final Four less than seven months ago. Most programs wouldn’t be able to recover from losing a player of Flagg’s caliber for some time. However, Boozer enters the fold as one of the hottest draft prospects this upcoming cycle. I expect Boozer to have a big game against the Texas frontcourt. Also keep an eye on returning wing Isaiah Evans, who should have a breakout season. Duke covers the spread and throws the party in Miller’s coaching debut at Texas. Pick: Duke -9.5
