Duke and UConn are reportedly finalizing an agreement to meet on Thanksgiving Eve at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, according to CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein.

This will serve as a rematch from this year's Elite Eight with the Huskies' 73-72 comeback win over the Blue Devils. Braylon Mullins nailed a long 3-pointer after Kayden Boozer's turnover to secure the victory and make a generational NCAA Tournament highlight.

This UConn victory is part of Dan Hurley's dominant March Madness record, which is 17-2 over the last four years. The proposed fest week hoop matchup will bring two of the top fan bases to Sin City.
