UConn and Duke are finalizing plans to clash on Nov. 25 — Thanksgiving Eve — at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, CBS Sports reported on Wednesday.
It would be a rematch of last month’s Elite Eight showdown in Washington, D.C., where the Huskies knocked out the Blue Devils in a 73-72 thriller.
Freshman Braylon Mullins’ desperation 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds left lifted No. 2 seed UConn over top-seeded Duke in the NCAA Tournament East Region on March 29. The Huskies went on to lose to Michigan, 69-63, in the national championship game.
Duke leads the all-time series between the perennial powerhouses 6-5, including the Huskies’ 77-74 victory in the 1999 NCAA Tournament title game in St. Petersburg, Fla.
