Duke and Texas will play in the inaugural Dick Vitale Invitational in Charlotte on Nov. 4, ESPN announced Monday.
The announcement coincides with Vitale’s 86th birthday and his new multiyear contract with the network.
“Dick is the heart of college basketball, and his kindness, generosity and courage are a constant inspiration to us all,” ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro said in the release. “Through the creation of the Dick Vitale Invitational, we will celebrate him and his profound impact on the sport.”
The Longhorns and Blue Devils will play at the Spectrum Center, home to the Charlotte Hornets.
