Big boy game number 1 as our number 6 blue devils take on the number 19 wildcats in this matchup of Goliaths. I’m always extra excited for a Kentucky matchup as my maternal side of my family are all Kentucky fans.

Kentucky is coached by Mark Pope, a 1996 national champion from UK and former BYU coach. Pope I’m sure has had this game circled since being hired as his prime time introduction. Nothing would be better then starting his Kentucky career with a dub over the blue devils.

Prediction- we show up big time and give the national an introduction to cooper, kon, and mal

Duke- 102
UK-73

We are favored by 6.5

I hate noon games and will miss this one live. We are back in action after the big L on Tuesday. Not much to say on this one, should be an easy W. Not sure we will be able to gather much from this one.

We are favored by 25.5

Duke- 102
Wofford- 58

Preview for Saturday's game against Wofford can be found here.

Programming: I'll be there with full coverage.

Predictions:

- Patrick Ngongba II plays for the first time.

- Sion James sits out; Darren Harris plays first-half minutes.

- Kon Knueppel scores at least 20 points.

- For the first game this season, nobody cramps up.

I swear these offseasons get shorter but I’m glad to be officially tipping off what should be a great season.

The Maine black bears roll into Cameron still jealous over losing Cooper (jk) and now they’ll get stomped by him. Maine finished last year 15-17. They have been coached by Chris Markwood since March 2022, prior to Maine he had multiple stints at various schools, most notable as a Boston College assistant coach. Chris and his wife both played basketball at Maine.

Prediction- quick easy win with some flexing

Duke- 113
Maine-62

Duke comes out of its off week with a couple of games left and a legitimate chance to finish the regular season with 9 wins.

Think back to what you thought of this team in August and how quickly you would've signed up for a 9-win season.

Duke is home for Senior Night against Virginia Tech this weekend. Both teams are 3-3 in the ACC; the difference in records is because Duke went 4-0 in non-conference games and VT was 2-2. The story of VT's season has been losses in one-score games; the Hokies are 0-4 in games decided by a touchdown or less.

Programming for this one is ... TBD. I think I'll be there in person. But that's kinda tentative right now.

Come on Cameron and Cayden, you'll know where's home and what to do.

I don't know if Burr is guilty of insider trading or not, nor do I care. However, the wearing of a mask with UNC on it is unpardonable. That alone ought to get him some time in jail. Sorry Richard, hope you wind up in a cell somewhere with a bunch of NCSt and Duke fans...Hey mods , if this is too political , just delete it.

Today we welcome the 1-0 cadets from West Point into Cameron. Guided by second year head coach Kevin Kuwik, army returns their two leading scorers from last years 10-22 team. Duke enters as a 29.5 point favorite.

I think this will be a good second tune up before we get Kentucky next week

Anyone think K shows up for this one?

Duke steps up the exhibition schedule and plays Bobby Hurley squad. To my knowledge this will be the first return to Cameron for Hurley. I’m pretty excited to see some live D1 action for Duke a little early!

Yes, I know this is a Duke board! For the guys that follow the entire conference closely, I have a question for you. Do you think that Cade Tyson will be a bust for UNC? About 4-5 years ago, they brought in a couple of transfers from Mid Major schools. I can’t remember their names. They did absolutely nothing. Busts. I am wondering if Tyson will do the same. How much pt does he get with Jackson and Powell to compete with?
Thanks.

Don’t know if any one had saw or brought this up yet. However after seeing his post I hope many reach out to the young man and get him help . Mental health is a real issue in today’s world .

My prayers go out to him not only as a fan but as a human being who has saw the struggles of what mental health can cause .

so two huge things today. austin parker our punter/field goal kicker dismissed for academic reasons and OL coach marcus johnson hired to miss state. ouch!!!!!!!!!

We get some live game action today at 1pm on accnx (not sure how to watch that) go duke!

*figured out how to watch it! I’ll update while I can watch but going to a pumpkin patch so will miss most of it live

ESPN just broke the news. Press conference scheduled for tomorrow. Hopefully everything is alright. He was one of the better coaches left. Won’t miss his defensive style of play when Duke matches up against UVA in the future. Best of luck to him.
