They don't want to play here, that simple.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe UConn and Duke had conversations about a home and home series years ago, but Duke insisted the games be at Cameron Indoor Stadium for their home games while the return home game be at MSG instead of at Gampel or Hartford.

If that is true, then sorry Duke that is a "no".

This is true.
 
Not defending Duke, but they have 20 conference games plus the ACC/SEC Challenge. Throw in one other event plus a MSG event and it is tough for them to schedule home and homes. Before COVID, the ACC played 18 conference games.

With the ACC down in basketball, playing a 20 game conference schedule really hurts teams' strength of schedule.

You’d think they’d want to play at least a couple of hard games a year. A true home and home series would help them come tournament time but they don’t want that. Just keep the HS stars passing through on the treadmill to the NBA with a couple of college tourney wins to their credit. Good job.

Generally, they play 3 hard games OOC each year.

We shouldve played them last year in the tourney but the commitee protected them from getting embarrassed on national tv and when questioned on it gave such a nonsense response the TNT guys just looked at each other with the "i call bs" expressions on their face. It was pretty comical. They later on called it out. But we all know what happened.

Yeah, this is clearly fake but we're getting reeeeeeaaaaaallllllyyy close to it being indistinguishable from the real thing.

If the "creator" had used a more believable script it could easily be mistaken for real

If they don’t want to do a home-and-home let’s just meet at MSG and call it a day

That's the game the people want. Right there. .. CBB fans across the country. I said above in another thread and I couldn't agree more.

Week between Christmas and New Year before the college football playoffs get serious. That championship game is January, 19, 2026.
 
I remember when I was very upset about not getting an ACC invite. Don’t care about Duke or any of those schools. They sold their identity and lost the lure they once had. Glad to be in the Big East.
