Overview
- Duke announced Wednesday that Harvard will visit Cameron Indoor Stadium on Friday, Dec. 4, with former Duke standout Tommy Amaker returning as Harvard's head coach.
- Amaker was an All‑American point guard at Duke (1983–87), was inducted into the Duke Athletics Hall of Fame in 2001, and has led Harvard since 2007 with a 321‑206 record, seven Ivy League regular‑season titles and four NCAA Tournament trips.
- The game continues Duke's Brotherhood Run series, which brings former Blue Devils back to Durham as opposing head coaches and has previously featured alumni such as Bobby Hurley and Johnny Dawkins.
- The announcement came alongside a partial release of Duke's 2026–27 nonconference slate that lists multiple marquee opponents, building on Duke's 35–3 2025–26 season and Elite Eight run.
- This will be the 11th meeting between the programs and the first since Nov. 30, 1991, with Duke holding a 10–0 edge, a history that adds narrative interest for fans, recruits and both programs' staffs.
