Does anyone know when we will find out the start time for the next Duke v. unc game? I tried the google machine and every schedule still says TBD. I'm trying to plan a viewing party for the Holly Holm fight that evening, but I will not have that party if it means that people will be trickling into my house during the Duke game. I can't watch Duke games with people.

It'll be either 7:00 or 9:00 EST.

Thanks.
I wish that they would just decide already. I guess that they are waiting to see if ESPN is bringing game day.

i'd be very surprised if it's not the 9 pm slot. It's almost always in that slot, and it's almost always the college game day site. In the case of the final game being at cameron, it's hosted college game day every time since college game day became a thing for basketball

I think the college game day game is almost invariably at 9pm.

You're probably right. Guess I'll watch the Holm fight myself.

Also keep in mind the recent trend of SportsCenter airing on site immediately after the game. Any pair of Bristol hosts (and even the Los Angeles hosts) don't mind visiting Cameron.

Four games on the March 5 scoreboard (for teams ranked right now) are listed as TBD: UNC-Duke, Louisville-Virginia, Iowa State-Kansas, and West Virginia-Baylor. With respect to Allen Fieldhouse, I think ESPN's 9pm slot is almost certainly set in Cameron.

Yep, after what happened on Wednesday night, I'd be shocked if the rematch wasn't in the prime time slot.

Wait, I thought AFH was such a better place to play...

I agree that it is likely the prime time slot. However the Gameday prime time game slot has been at 6:30pm the past few weeks and again this week. ABC/ESPN have started carrying a prime time NBA game at 8:30 on Sat night.

On Mar 5th, there is Bulls-Rockets game scheduled for 8:30 on ABC. So there is a decent chance that if we are the main game it played well before 9pm

Yes, an Iron Dukes email has confirmed 6:30 PM on the 5th.

6:30 is now ESPN's Saturday marquee slot, designed to be paired with the 8:30 marquee NBA game on ABC.

Gametime is 6:30, but the release states that ESPN won't decide on the location of GameDay until Feb. 27.

Yeah, right. If you think it won't be in Durham you're kidding yourself. LGD GTHc!
