Love the Duke game being scheduled. UConn, Duke, Michigan, that right there is very likely three games vs. pre-season top five ranked opponents. Add in Sparty (probably for sure top ten pre-season), what a great time to be a fan....just think if Brad pulled off a game vs the Gators. Too true it would be?

Of course. I probably shouldn’t joke about United Supermarket Arena. Our arena in Des Moines is now the Casey’s Center-named after a convenience store.

Duke played at the Breslin Center this year. They played at Arizona the year before.

It's essentially their new normal to play 1 true non-conference road game.
That's definitely true, but it is also fair to say they've avoided those a lot in the past. When I am less busy with work, I will definitely be looking up their non-conference true road games since 2000 and comparing it to ours. ;)

Dan, if I may ask for a vote that we pin this as the very first post, on every post game thread, in a game we lost, that would be great. It might cut the post count down by 300, but throwing ice on the hot takes before they start would be a good thing. :)
