pinch me, we’ve been elevated to the point where duke schedules home-and-homes with us
Hell yea, more home and homes, less neutral sites.

The thing we really need to be willing to do is a Chicago-and-road.
These weirdo four-game deals that involve quasi-road games like Tennessee in Nashville or Bama in Birmingham just make things too confusing.
(There also might be schools willing to do a home-home-Chicago. Marquette and Notre Dame spring to mind)

I love this with every fiber of my being. @Duke, Connecticut at the United Center, @Texas Tech, Missouri, and as @LvilleILL1 just said, there will be more marquee games on the schedule. This is how the tippy top programs operate. This is how you prepare yourself to win a title in March.
Give me one UC game and one traveling neutral, otherwise I agree they blow.
But they are super helpful for NET rankings. Duke will almost certainly be a Q1A at SFC in 27, but most teams that’s not a guarantee. Neutrals help bump the range of teams that can be considered Q1 at a neutral vs a home and home.
Next one to be announced.
Sick! So, the non-con for 26-27 so far is:

New research triangle just dropped! Sorry NC State.
Are we going to Europe this year??
I’ll take Kansas and Kentucky to finish the blue blood set.

It's sad that we have to stoop down to Duke's level.
I mean, they didn't even make the Final 4 last year.

I was hoping for Arizona or Florida.

Wish we were playing Tennessee again this season. Barnes has loaded up on talent.
Would love a home and home with KU
