In general though, I'm disappointed at the trend Duke and other programs are showing for scheduling multiple cupcake games at home. I would like to see Duke schedule more power 5 opponents before conference play starts.I understand why they don't but as a basketball consumer I would like to see more quality games before conference play starts.
The ACC schedule is now -- what? -- 20 games and possibly three or more in the ACC Tournament. I don't expect the OOC scheduling to become more demanding.
