But a loss to G5 URI the first night means no RPI boosting headliner game against Duke. With these neutral site games and road trips to ISU and Butler, November and December could provide a rocky start once again.

Especially considering we are not as veteran as a team as we were last year.

Win one or two that are unexpected..and SOS looks good.

LOL, no we won't.

Have Penn State and Cincinnati ever played in basketball? Ever? I can't recall a game.

Only game I see listed on all-time records head to head is a 74-66 Penn St win. Doesn't say what year it was played though.

Found it. December 29, 1973 --- at the Palestra, which is a cool place I've been fortunate enough to see a game at.

Not THAT game though. I was negative 6 years old then. :-)

I've seen NittanyLion post on other boards. He is a PSU/UC fan. He's a good dude. Per his location he lives in NKY.

Ah ok... makes sense.

This Duke roster will elicit hyperbole. Rightfully so! Combination of returning experience and freshmen matched only by UK 2010, UNC 2008...

I firmly believe the Duke team UC beat in Alaska was the best Duke team in my lifetime (despite them ultimately losing in the National Title to a great UConn team). Lets take down another Duke monster.

Would be nice but that UC team had some very good players on it.

Marques Bolden to Duke. This should be fun.

Well hopefully on November 20th, they haven't jelled yet.

Superstition, the good kind, is on our side folks as long as I blow the candles on my cake before tip-off. We got this.

At this point does it even matter if Duke adds another 5 star big man. That front court is loaded! But you can only play with 5 on the court at one time.

True. You can also play a second wave of 5. Nice problem to have. If anyone can handle coaching a team loaded with blue chips it's Coach K.
