I think one of the problems/objections with Maui (and similar MTEs) is that it takes 3 non-Cameron spots out of 5. 1 goes to the KS/KY/MSU event, 1 is going to NYC regardless of popular opinion, and Duke is not going to play more A/N games than Cameron games in the non-conference. Duke is not a midmajor yet. The only way Maui works is if Duke has a home game v. the SEC team and has no other non-conference road games. With the KS series, Duke has pretty much answered your question--not anytime soon.

Duke also makes more money by staging their own tournament (technically, the Kansas game is a tournament this year) than they do by going to Maui.

Freaking Norlander. Donald and I could have leaked this more than a month ago but wanted to let the team make the announcement.

Now that the opponent has leaked, can you leak the date and whether this will be part of the season ticket?

I went to look up Arizona State's roster and preseason ranking on T-Rank. It was shocking to see ASU listed as a Big 12 team.

I am fairly sure it will be Oct 26th... I have a wedding that day that I am attending otherwise I would come up for the game for sure!
No idea about the ticketing situation. It is a charity game so they may be doing something separate from the usual ticketing.

Great that Duke would give Hurley his due. He had an incredible career at Duke.

Yeah, they should retire his jersey or something
I'm sorry that Norlander scooped you but I appreciate your professionalism (and that of Donald as well) in wanting to let the team make the announcement. Please feel free to leak ticket information if you do discover it because I 1,000 percent need to attend this! Bobby Hurley is still may favorite Duke player ever and to see him do something inside Cameron would be a dream for me!
Not excited about him technically being the "enemy" as the opposing coach but I'll handle it better as an exhibition game (with a big tribute to him) versus a game that counts. LOL!

Agreed. FWIW, I just checked basketball-reference.com expecting to see that Bobby's NCAA career assist record had been surpassed by somebody with an extra year of COVID eligibility. To my surprise, it seems that Bobby's record is likely to withstand the extra COVID year era.
As far as I can tell, Dejuan Harris from Kansas is the active leader in career assists. However, Harris still needs more than 400 assists this year to pass Bobby and his career best is 224.
Hurley's record dodged a bullet when Yuri Collins from Saint Louis declined to use his extra COVID year of eligibility. Collins was 199 assists behind Hurley and was coming off a season where he dished out 324 assists.

That's pretty remarkable his record is holding up against the 5-year guys. One of Duke's all time greats.

To be fair, Bobby had the benefit of some exceptionally proficient finishers.

In the words of Dana Carvey doing the late John McLaughlin: Wrong!
It's the next day (Sunday night) at 6:30. Duke just sent me an Iron Duke email confirming it.

It's hard for me to imagine a reason for doing it at 6:30 other than to get it on TV.In the words of Dana Carvey doing the late John McLaughlin: Wrong!

Which would seem to be the best way to maximize the revenue. Cameron is only so big, so giving people at home the chance to contribute seems like a really good plan.
