Glad to see this schedule development!

BTW: Duke got off to a shaky start this season in their OOC games.

Some losses...understandable: South Carolina/UCLA/LSU.
Some not so much: Baylor/West Virginia/South Florida.

Coach Lawson has turned it around in conference play.

Current record 21-7...conference record 16-1...loss to Clemson.
Ranked #12 nationally....Maybe a 3 or 4 seed if they finish strong.

I love the idea of a Duke series, an early test of defensive minded teams.

 

[Geew1992]

wonder how @triaddukefan feels about this??

 

[JoePgh]

I believe it had been stated that the Vanderbilt series begins the year after next.

Possibly downing a couple Cheerwines.

You are correct.

 

[Zarathustra]

I like our chances when playing Duke in Durham.
Why? The Sarah Strong's home state advantage!
Geno has a motivated Sarah and Lawson doesn't!

Another brutal non-conference slate for us, but we should be better prepared and healthier next season. The front court matchups should be interesting. The backcourt matchup might be an issue.

Hopefully UConn fans won't jump me in line like they did on their last visiit to Durham in 2013. 😠

Possibly downing a couple Cheerwines.

Gave up Cheerwine for Lent.

Stacked lineup of opponents. I really dislike Duke...

Even if Vandy is the year after, that’s still a really tough post- Azzi schedule. Perimeter shooting gonna really need to pick up.

Ah the good old days: Mooing, I thought they were booing. Diana's swing by the crazies signing Call me after flattening Duke. Of course the Crazies were the epitome of Duke elitist snobbery, thinking they were coming up with oh so clever barbs, while coming off as graceless, spoiled brats. I could be hopeful, but I suspect little has changed except the tuition.

That is an insane schedule. After everyone sees what we have to go through next year, let's see who has the temerity to complain about the Big East.

I am excited. My granddaughter lives in Sudbury, MA. She’ll be 7 next year, which will be a great time for grandpa & grandma to take her and her 9 year old brother to their 1st UConn wbb game. 🤩

Probably the Dukies. They certainly know what temerity means

 

[JellyBean]

This adds to Coach Lawson's recruiting conversation.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Neutral site: a good way to start. We know Geno doesn't care. I'd love to hear Kara say Gampel, hell no. I'll only speak for myself, but I know I'm far from alone when I say I like and respect Kara.

I do like Kara Lawson a lot! I think she is a standup, intelligent woman with a lot of integrity and if she ever gets her offense on an even keel with her defense, Duke will become once again, a perennial threat to win it all.

That “call me” was a favorite memory of mine. Chef’s kiss!

I use to have that iconic photo of Diana's call me on my home page. It went poof with the computer.

I used to hate Duke with a passion. That has waned to some extent over the years but I still resent their fans for the “Steve Kerr” incident. There have been other vile chants from the “Crazies” as well but over the years I’ve come to understand that when large groups of people gather for some emotional event, you cannot smear the entire crowd over the actions/speech of some. Even now, they definitely cross the line sometimes but to be truthful, others do as well.

That wasn't Duke. That was the Sun Devils of Arizona State. The only time Steve Kerr played against Duke was 1987 in Tucson.

My bad! I apologize for that one (now I remember why I hate ASU) My main point, which is now in shambles, was largely that college students of which “the Crazies” are among the most famous (and others) may say some pretty awful things but usually, it is not the entire stadium. Sorry again triaddukefan, I guess when your memory is shot to h*** and gone, it’s best to stay off the soapbox.😳

You got it backwards. "Booing? I thought they were mooing". Gave you a thumbs up anyway for the memory refresh.
