Duke's dilemma vs. Louisville

[Newhouser]

Grayson Allen's a dirtbag. That was a dirty play. I'm sure the ACC will let him skate.

I'm pretty pumped to go to Louisville next week, I think we can knock em off.

If they are engaged mentally and making any shots I do not think it is the best match up for us.

Sorry, I can't go there. I hate Duke. Nothing I love more than seeing Duke lose at Cameron. My problem with Cameron is the opponent's bench is within spitting distance of the Duke fans. I'm sorry, but if we had our student section 3 feet behind our opponents bench screaming at the visitors the whole game we would also have advantage. There's a point when the unsportsmanlike behavior changes a sporting event to championship wrestling spectacle or a Big Truck rally. Duke home games are designed for maximum humiliation of the visitors. They are all a bunch of classless a holes.

Locating the visitor bench right in front of the home fans is not uncommon in the ACC.

The same thing is true at Maryland at Cole and at the new one. And I can assure you the Maryland crowd is at least as nasty as the Duke one.

I always thought it was great that the students get some of the best seats at Maryland and at Duke instead of being put at the end of the court. It shows you which schools are really interested in basketball as a money maker primarily. Putting students at courtside costs mucho.

When I say spitting distance it kind of bothers me that our players can be spat on. I don't mind them being close. But not within spitting distance.

Meh, a lot of people said the same about us going to Duke and Wake. Lot's of wrong predictions since the 0-4 start.

IMHO neither Duke nor Wake defends with the same purpose as Louisville. I hope I am wrong.

Duke's and Wake's purpose is to make the Tournament.
The key against Louisville is to get up early and keep a bit of a distance.

The game at the Yum will be the first home game for the birds since the tourney ban was announced. The fans will be sure to show support. They lost a heartbreaker to Duke and still have to play at ND, where an Irish victory would be beneficial.

But what if the students were aligned in a 2-3 formation whilst courtside?
