The Duke-Iowa matchup features programs that have combined for 72 NCAA Tournament appearances, with the Blue Devils beating the Hawkeyes head-to-head in the 1991 and 1992 tournaments. Duke has won seven of the eight meetings in the all-time series, but the programs have not met since 2001.

"The Jimmy V Classic is a staple of the college basketball season, and Duke is honored to be a part of it once again," said head coach Jon Scheyer. "Jim Valvano meant so much to college basketball and his legacy endures with these events that assist the V Foundation in its fight against cancer. We're excited for the opportunity to play Iowa at MSG. They've had such a consistently strong program under Fran McCaffery and this will be a great test for us."

Iowa was 26-10 last season, won the Big Ten Tournament and reached the NCAA Tournament for the 28th time in the program's history. McCaffery has reached the NCAA Tournament in six of his 12 seasons as the Hawkeyes' head coach.

Under Scheyer entering his first year as Duke's head coach, the Blue Devils are coming off a 32-7 season, winning the ACC regular season title and reaching the Final Four for the 17th time in the program's 44th NCAA Tournament appearance.

The Jimmy V Classic, named for legendary college basketball coach Jim Valvano, annually raises money and awareness for the V Foundation for Cancer Research. The men's classic began in 1995 and is in its 28th year – 19th at Madison Square Garden. The doubleheader is part of ESPN's V Week initiative, which utilizes platforms to talk to sports fans about the importance of cancer research. To date, ESPN has helped raise more than $155 million dollars for the V Foundation. In 2021, V Week raised $13.35 million, surpassing the previous high of $8.8 million in 2019.

Tickets for the men's doubleheader will go on sale this fall. First priority and access to the best seats will be offered to fans who sign up for the pre-sale through Fevo.
