Since we don’t know who the opponents in the rest of the Battle 4 Atlantis will be, and since I selfishly wanted to get to this match-up we jump to the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
Duke visits the Kohl Center on December 3with an 8:30 p.m. tip-off.
School: Duke Blue Devils
Location: Durham, North Carolina
Conference: Atlantic Coast Conference
Undergrad Enrollment: 6,495
2013-14 record: (26-9, 13-5 ACC)
Top returning players: Quinn Cook (11.6 pts, 4.4 assists); Rasheed Sulaimon (9.9 pts, 2.4 rebounds); Jahlil Okafor (incoming freshman)
Who’d win in a mascot fight?:I don’t think I’m going to do this next year. The badger is a ferocious animal, but it doesn’t stand-up in these fights against larger animals, humans, and methodical creatures.
One interesting major:Canadian Studies
One fact to help you win your local trivia night: Richard Nixon graduated at Duke with a law degree.
Prediction: While many of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge match-ups are foreign with new teams added to each conference, this one stays the same. Both teams have held serve on their home court in the past and I look for a raucous crowd as this week features both a home Duke game and a road Marquette game. The Badgers pull this one off, feeding off the Grateful Red.
