Duke Blue Devils

Freshman small forward Dariq Whitehead, a projected one-and-done who finished No. 2 overall on the 247Sports 2022 Composite, sat out the Duke basketball squad's first three games while recovering from a fractured right foot. And he came off the bench for the now-No. 15 Blue Devils (8-2, 1-0 ACC) across their next seven outings.

Still, Whitehead will begin on the bench when Duke squares off against the almost-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes (6-1, 0-0 Big Ten) in New York City's Madison Square Garden at 10:04 p.m. ET Tuesday (ESPN) as part of the Jimmy V Classic.

Ahead of the game, the Duke basketball program's official account tweeted the starting five:

Junior point guard Jeremy Roach
Freshman combo guard Tyrese Proctor
Freshman small forward Mark Mitchell
Freshman power forward Kyle Filipowski
Freshman center Dereck Lively II

This Duke basketball starting lineup has been intact for the team's past seven outings. And the Blue Devils boast a 6-1 record in that span.

After the matchup against the Iowa Hawkeyes, the Duke Blue Devils have three days off before hosting the unranked Maryland Eastern Shore Hawks (3-5, 0-0 Mid-Eastern) at 5:30 p.m. ET Saturday (ACCN).
