Duke's 2017-18 non-conference schedule, which was released Monday, doesn't have Kansas in a blockbuster neutral-court game at Madison Square Garden like last season, but there are plenty of opportunities for the Blue Devils to prove themselves early in the schedule with a steady mix of cupcakes and tough challenges.

Unlike last season's squad which featured two starting seniors and even more role players with starting experience, Duke will be breaking in a bevy of youngsters such as Trevon Duval, Wendell Carter and Gary Trent Jr. among others who will be tasked with replacing the production of Luke Kennard and Jayson Tatum who were first-round picks in the NBA Draft.
