Another year, another new era of Duke basketball. 

Last year, the uber-talented Cooper Flagg — along with a number of other talented freshmen — fueled a Final Four run and ACC title. But that core is gone now, with five players off to the NBA, leaving a mostly new roster including Cameron and Carlos Boozer, two of the top recruits in the Class of 2025. 

Needless to say, there's plenty of intrigue surrounding Jon Scheyer in his fourth year at the helm of the Blue Devils. 

The same can be said for women's basketball coach Kara Lawson, who led Duke to its third straight NCAA Tournament appearance last season. Last year, the Blue Devils bowed out in the Elite Eight to South Carolina. 

Five-star recruit Emilee Skinner will headline a new roster; Skinner, a shooting guard, is a consensus top-10 prospect. 

Here's how you can watch Duke basketball Countdown to Craziness on Friday night, with streaming information for the annual event.
