No. 3 Duke set to test mettle vs. top-ranked Michigan

A neutral-court, non-conference game between Duke and Michigan sounded like a big deal when it was announced during the offseason.

Now it might be even bigger than anticipated.

The third-ranked Blue Devils and No. 1 Wolverines will jockey for position atop the AP Top 25 poll when they clash Saturday evening in the Capital Showcase in Washington, D.C.

"It was very clear that they were going to be one of the best teams in the country when we scheduled this game," Duke coach Jon Scheyer said.
