Neither Duke nor North Carolina comes to Berkeley in 2024-25. Cal goes to UNC's Dean Smith Center on Jan. 15, plays at Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium on Feb. 12
Cal's ACC men's 2024-25 basketball schedule was announced on Tuesday, but the two biggest names in the ACC, Duke and North Carolina, won't be coming to Berkeley in the Bears' first season in the ACC.
Unlike the ACC women, who play 18 conference games, the men play 20 ACC games. It means Cal will only play three ACC teams twice and will play the other 14 conference opponents once each. Cal faces Stanford, SMU and North Carolina State twice, but the others just once. Cal must travel to face North Carolina on Jan. 15, and the Bears go to Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium on Feb. 12. Neither will play at Haas Pavilion this season.
Duke and North Carolina seem to be the ACC's only top-10-caliber teams for the upcoming season, with the rest of the conference wide open. It leaves Cal with a chance to make some headway in its first season in the ACC.Cal went 13-19 last year and 9-11 in the Pac-12 in Mark Madsen's first season as the Bears head coach.Nov. 4 -- Cal State Bakersfield at CalNov. 21 -- Air Force at Calx-Dec. 7 -- Stanford at CalDec. 21 -- Cal vs. San Diego State at San Josex-Jan.
