Ouch....

Yep I thought you meant football at first

Double ouch

Cool place for your players to get to play, nice name on the schedule, and almost guaranteed SOS help. Nice.

I saw the thread and was like GREAT game!!!

Then I saw the post and saw it was in basketball. I echo the aforementioned ouches.

Now just win!!!

Be a fun game for the players and the fans that make the trip.

That's why I did not but basketball in the thread name.

Hope it's a pretty good pay day for y'all. ... . Cause the results are gonna be Fugly.

I think we can hang with them. Should be a really close game. Well, at least for the first 30 seconds.

There is no way we even make this a contest.

But if the planets somehow align and an upset happens, some of you should just log off forever. Our smugness would never calm down.

I think our defense can hold them to less than 50 points



















in the first half

App plays at UNC in December. I'm looking forward to going since I live close to Chapel Hill, but I'm sure it will also be a big ouch.

Too bad for both of us, not football!

Very good top 25 teams will get destroyed by Duke this year. Coach K has profited most in recruiting from the UNC scandal.

Thought we'd played Duke before. Damn if I can find proof of it. Maybe UNC?

You are right. November 11, 2008--a 97-54 loss, hopefully we keep it closer this time

Also a loss in 2006 by the score of 72-48.

Our biggest lost to UNC was when we hired Capel as our basketball coach.

Ehhh prob a decent check and our guys get to play live a dream and see what it is like to play the most elite program in the country. Hopefully this sets up a football game down the line as well.

We played Duke a few years ago. It was a great experience for our players and fans.

Those first 5 minutes can be a contest. With teams like Duke, their bench play is phenomenal.

A moral victory is playing great in the first half (under double digits).

The 2nd half becomes blow out city!!!
