National college basketball powers Duke and Gonzaga will face each other at T-Mobile Arena on Nov. 26.

Duke has won five national championships, the most recent in 2015. Gonzaga has been the strongest program outside the Power Five conferences, and the Bulldogs are ranked No. 1 this season.

Meetings between high-powered opponents are not new at T-Mobile, but the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic makes any schedule far from a certainty. If the game is played as scheduled, it could potentially be the marquee nonconference matchup next season.

The teams last played Nov. 21, 2018, at the Maui Invitational, where Gonzaga won, 89-87.
