Message: [QUOTE="hobbit88, post: 23836, member: 1218"] Well my point was to make sure that when an ACC team plays in MSG, they play a Quality Opponent, one that will draw; thus a team that was ranked no lower than #30 or #40 the previous season, and preferably a much stronger one than that. Carolina has always played at least 3 legitimate OOC powers in November and December. In 2009-2010 we brutalized ourselves; Michigan State (Heels won 89-82), 'Cuse (you killed us 87-71), Ohio State (Heels 77-73), Kentucky (lost by a bucket, 68-66) and Texas (took us down 103-90). So, why not play one of those games in MSG? I like the idea of the double header too, wasn't this done a lot in MSG back in the '50s? So, put Clemson vs Stanford first, then Syracuse vs UCLA 2nd. You know, pair a less popular ACC team (Clemson, Wake Forest) and its tough opponent, with a guaranteed draw team (dook, UNC, Syracuse, probably Pitt, perhaps Maryland too) and ITS tough opponent.
