The two schools will play Dec. 4 in a regular-season game at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J. The Blue Devils won their fourth NCAA title in Indianapolis on April 5 by beating the fan favorite Bulldogs 61-59, as Gordon Hayward’s potential winning shot from halfcourt bounced off the rim.
Duke has a long, successful history at the arena, going 18-1 and winning five regional finals there. Butler has never played at the Meadowlands, which is losing the NBA’s New Jersey Nets as a tenant.
The game will be televised by ESPN.
