Second-ranked Duke opened its season with a commanding 84-50 victory over Army on Tuesday. The Blue Devils showcased their depth and defensive intensity in the season-opening win, holding the Black Knights to just 50 points while scoring 84 of their own.
The lopsided result reflects Duke's status as a national championship contender entering the 2026-27 campaign. Army, representing the United States Military Academy, faced a significant talent gap against one of college basketball's premier programs.
