LFGoooooo
Just like the old days when we used to draw Duke, Maryland, or UNC every year. Of course, Wake Forest was the best.We have come a long way from playing lower level ACC teams to know playing Dook.
Don't forget Duke gets top talent too... freshman or not! Just saying! But I agree! Better win that battle!Duke's biggest guy is a 7-foot, 243-pound freshman, and no one else is even close. If Kofi's getting drafted this year, he needs to look dominant in this game.

Worried that the refs won't allow Kofi to even breathe on anyone during that game.Don't forget Duke gets top talent too... freshman or not! Just saying! But I agree! Better win that battle!
Wonder how many games we will get to play before we play Duke...could make a big difference for usGotta play great teams to have a strong run in the tourney. Really really really looking forward to this game. This game should tell us if we’re for reals this year.

Good question. Is the B10 waiting to see what non con games can be scheduled before releasing the B10 schedule? Hard to believe we are still waiting.Wonder how many games we will get to play before we play Duke...could make a big difference for us
I'd rather it be the first game of the season. Our experience vs. their freshmen.Wonder how many games we will get to play before we play Duke...could make a big difference for us
I’m sure it will be early, right? Can’t be that many non conference games this year. I think 3rd or 4th game for us would be the sweet spot.I'd rather it be the first game of the season. Our experience vs. their freshmen.

You’re forgetting ... Kofi knows how to take refs out of the game.Worried that the refs won't allow Kofi to even breathe on anyone during that game.
They do - but it takes Freshman talent a while to come up to speed. Early season game in an empty Cameron with a very experienced Illini team is not a bad scenario. Just wish it was at home.Don't forget Duke gets top talent too... freshman or not! Just saying! But I agree! Better win that battle!
I think this is the big point here, if there was ever a season to draw Duke at Cameron, it's this one, we (likely) have the best team we've had in over a decade and we get Duke when there will (likely) be little to no fans allowed.They do - but it takes Freshman talent a while to come up to speed.

Oh what a birthday present winning that game would be.
