During his two seasons playing basketball for UNC, Elliot Cadeau finished 2-3 against the fierce rival Duke team. Next season, though, the former starting floor general for the Tar Heels will get a chance to level his personal series against the Blue Devils.
After Cadeau entered the transfer portal about a month ago, Duke is now completing an arrangement with Michigan, his new school, to play a non-conference game on a neutral court in February.
The 2025–26 Blue Devils and Cadeau’s Wolverines, who are both predicted to finish in the top 25, will play in Washington, D.C., on February 21 or 22, hoping to compete in a March Madness-style setting late in the season, according to CBS Sports college basketball insider Matt Norlander on Wednesday.
Just over a month later, the 2026 NCAA Tournament East Regional semifinals and finals will take place at the Capital One Arena.
Elliot Cadeau and the 2023–24 Tar Heels defeated the Blue Devils 2-0 in his first season as a UNC basketball player. However, Duke defeated the 2024–25 team three times, including in the ACC Tournament semifinals in Charlotte’s Spectrum Center, 74–71.
