Davidson is a game (and series) that needed to happen. Hopefully that means they'll be coming to Boone the following year.

Duke... well, that one might not be pretty. It could get so lopsided that K might let his 8th man get off the bench.

For those of us in the Triangle, though, I wonder if it might be an affordable ticket on StubHub?

Davidson is the first leg of a home and home.

I heard this was a possibility at the YOSEF tour in April.

Extremely happy about the home & home with the DCats; not so much about the trip to Dook.
Proud triple-degree App grad--Classes of '66, '70 and '81.
If it happens to the Apps, it happens to me!

Apps play at Davidson and Charlotte next season, so many Black and Gold faithful should be able to support the team and not have to drive that far.

just saw where Duke has signed 5 McDonalds all Americans for the upcoming class, giving them the top recruiting class in the country.....may god have mercy on us because Duke will not.

I'm surprised Fox signed up for the DC series. Kudos to him for putting his wants behind the programs.

This is a huge sacrifice for him. Thanks Coach!

It shouldn't be a sacrifice for him IMO. I understand being uncomfortable facing your mentor, but it's one of the few chances to get an OOC opponent of note to come to Boone, not to mention a driveable road game. And it's not like it will be disastrous for the loser - it's one November/December OOC game.

Especially with both teams having moved to geographically dispersed leagues, this made too much sense not to happen.

Coaches don't like facing their mentor, this is a sacrifice on his part and I thank him for it.
