Duke. The top two winningest coaches in men's college basketball history will be going up against each other. Plus, we hate Duke.
Duke game will be hall of famer vs hall of famer. Also the press before that game will be huge, since the amount of wins between each other and also the work they did for team USA!! Also having MG on the team will be big news also if he lives up to the hype.
UNC game will be just another game like in 2009 where they will bring up how Kansas lost to SU in the championship game before Roy left for UNC. Just a good game not anything special.
Made me cringeIt's the Dukies bay-bay!!!!!
Long term SU will be an elite program. Question is will we sell out arenas at UVA, VT, FSU, Wake, Clemson etc? Those programs HATE Duke and that is their Super Bowl. I think SU in town will be a great attraction for ACC teams but opposing fans won't circle us on their calendar like they circle Duke and UNC. Now, if SU tears through the ACC our first 3-5 years and recruiting picks up even more and we're a perennial top 5 team, then yeah ACC fans will hate us and we'll sell out all those arenas.Screw Duke and UNC. Better question is whether Cuse is as good a draw at ACC venues as Duke and UNC? First year, I expect yes. Long term, I think we do as long as we remain a top flight program post JB.
