Duke Cancels Michigan, Texas Tech Rematch at MSG

Duke’s December 21 game with Michigan, initially planned for Madison Square Garden and later moved to Miami as part of a three‑game Amazon Prime package, has been canceled amid ongoing Big Ten broadcast‑rights disputes. Duke will instead face Texas Tech at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 21, continuing the Prime deal that includes a Las Vegas showdown with Connecticut and a Detroit game against Gonzaga. The changes stem from the Big Ten rights impasse and leadership shifts, including Dusty May’s departure from Michigan to the Dallas Mavericks. Reports indicate the Miami relocation faced scheduling and rights hurdles, ultimately making the venue untenable. Duke’s schedule now centers on the Texas Tech rematch, with the broader Prime package remaining intact for the season, a progression tracked by CBS Sports and other outlets.
