    To answer another poster, there was an agreement about "competitive equity," not that I have any idea what that means. In its winter meetings, the league quickly disposed of the idea of "protecting" any series except one. Debbie Yow made it clear in a roundabout way that the other league members were not going to look after tradition. What do Miami, FSU, Clemson, GT, VT and BC know about that subject? What longstanding rivals do they have on the court?

    It is an outrage that the league takes the position that UNC and NC State playing each other twice a year should not be protected. Then we have Duke and NC State within a short drive of one another, but we have to satisify the basketball hungry denizens of Beantown and Coral Gables. And I firmly believe that the Duke athletic department played a role in facilitating that vote. Someone direct me to a quote where the Duke AD or men's head basketball coach tried to convince the league in its winter meetings to do otherwise.

    They loathe Duke in College Park. That's why we should go there.

    Two more tentative ACC dates from Wake Forest's AD site:

    1/5/13 or 1/6 Wake Forest in Cameron (probably the ACC opener)
    @Wake: 1/29-1/31.

    BC's AD site also confirms the home-home but doesn't give the dates.

    Duke will release something concerning the ACC schedule Thursday. There's nothing new in the link that isn't elsewhere on this thread.

    http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.db...DB_OEM_ID=4200

    4 more tentative dates from UNC and Miami:

    1/22-24 @Miami
    2/12-14 UNC
    3/2-3 Miami
    3/9-10 @UNC

    Georgia State in Cameron is the opener on 11/9 per Atlanta Jouirnal-Constitution.

    VT released its version of the tentative schedule:

    2/19-21 @VT
    3/5-7 VT

    By process of elimination and subject to human error:

    1/12-13 State (H or A) or ACC bye
    1/26-27 Maryland (H or A) or ACC bye

    From GT's Ath. Dept.:

    1-15 to 1-17 GT

    By process of elimination:

    2/5-2/7 State (H or A) or ACC bye

    Unconfirmed rumors that we will play @ St. John's TBD and Cornell at home. That would fill-out the nonconference schedule.

    I stand corrected. It looks like we are not playing St. John's this year.

    "St. John's announced yesterday its non-conference schedule and although elite programs such as Duke and UCLA are gone"

    No Duke at MSG this year?!?!?

    The way things are looking, Duke will have it's first MSG-less season in ages. At least the last 10 years I believe.

    Those games aren't always in MSG. We've played at the Izod Center (Meadowlands) about the same number of times since this "home away from home" annual NY/NJ game started back when I was in school. I'm not sure if we've played in the Prudential Center in Newark yet (where the Devils and Seton Hall play), but maybe we do a game there this year instead. We still have time for a game to be set up, if it hasn't been set up already.

    Except that we've really have played a game of some sort in MSG every year for the past forever:
    2011-12: vs MSU; vs Washington
    2010-11: @ St Johns
    2009-10: vs ASU; vs UConn; vs Gonzaga
    2008-09: vs SIU; vs Michigan; @ St Johns
    2007-08: vs Pitt
    2006-07: vs Gonzaga; @ St Johns
    2005-06: vs Drexel; vs Memphis
    2004-05: vs Oklahama; @ St Johns
    2003-04: vs Texas
    2002-03: vs OSU

    We have played other places in the Metro area, but 2001 appears to be the last time we didn't play at least one game in MSG.

    1998. You have to go back to before the St. John's series replaced Michigan/UCLA.

    2000-2001: vs. Temple; vs. Texas
    1999-2000: vs. Stanford; vs. UConn
    1998-1999: @ St. John's

    The 2002-03 game vs OSU threw me for a minute. I don't remember playing Oklahoma State or Oregon State and I knew Duke played Ohio State in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge that year. For some reason, GoDuke lists that game in NY but I believe it was played in Charlotte or Greensboro. This was back when Duke didn't play at home in the Challenge.

    You're right. I missed the St John's game in 2001-2002.

    Yeah, we played that game in Greensboro. Not sure why GoDuke has it otherwise.

    Still, the 2002 season is the only one in the past 14 years in which we didn't play a game in MSG.

    Per Cornellbigred.com (Cornell's AD), Cornell @ Duke on 12/19. That leaves one non-conference game TBD.

    Battle 4 Atlantis bracket

    Check it out

    http://www.marketwatch.com/story/bat...ork-2012-08-02

    Here are the groupings, listed to show how semifinals work.

    Mizzou v Stanford
    DUKE v Minnesota

    Memphis v VCU
    Louisville v Northern Iowa

    That means we can play Tubby, Johnny D, and Pitino all in three days. It's been noted already, but this is a good field.

    My bad, looks like Duke/Minnesota winner plays Memphis/VCU winner. Also interesting.

    Certainly better than the Maui invitational this year.

    Some more schedule stuff from goduke.com

    10/19 Countdown (Exh.)
    11/1 Winston-Salem State (Exh).
    11/18 Florida Gulf Coast
    12/20 Elon

    This gives us 31 games on the tentative schedule. I thought we only had 30 since the Atlantis tournament was 3 games instead of 4, but perhaps there was a rule change or cancellation. This should mean we have a bye week in ACC season for the first time in a while.

    Since Duke stopped sharing the ticket renewal brochure with lower level Iron Dukes a couple years ago, I'll renew my annual request for someone to post it when it's released.

    Season Tickets

    Got my renewal for season tickets in the mail yesterday. The schedule only has actual dates for games through January 2nd (vs Davidson in Charlotte).
