    won't happen.. the legendary coach down there on tobacco road won't leave his home in the early season.. he'd gladly let us go down there to play but no way he comes to rupp.. best you are gonna get out of him is a neutral court where he can still work his refs and get calls..Duke doesn't go to other peoples courts for big games early in the season.

    Yup we play Kansas next season in Madison Square Garden in the Pre-season Champions Classic. Then in 2012 we play Duke and 2013 play Michigan State in the same Classic. I think the Duke game is in Atlanta if i remember correctly.

    I wouldn't trade the Indiana game because that is tradition and I love the idea that I can talk it up to my family that are Hoosier die hards that live in Indiana but I would trade the UNC series. It seems that it has lost its luster over the last couple of years. Ever since the championship series is going on now I would rather see a team from the big east on the schedule. Syracuse or Villanova or even PITT comes to mind. Rick Barnes even talked to Cal last year about a Texas vs. UK series which would be great. Either way we can do away with the UNC series.

    I don't like Duke either. My least favorite in the country. Each time KY meets them I would love to see KY be the winner with a last second shot. Let Duke think they have won all the way up to the last few seconds and KY hits the last second shot and wins. I guess we all remember the Duke vs KY game that year Christian Laettner hit that shot. How can we forget it? The show it every year during March madness. But they never show win KY beat Duke the next year.

    I would like to see the UNC game switched but like most everyone else, just don't see Coach K "manning up" to take us on. He has shown he loves the comfortable confines of Cameron and would not take on a powerhouse that early in the season. He would just hate to have to fix the psyche of his players after being dismantled by us.

    the IU/UK rivalry hasn't been strong in the last few years because IU hasn't had a team.

    I would love to see UK spank Duke every year, but like Catmandoo, I want bragging rights here in Hoosier country.

    Indiana used to be a pretty heated rivalry, not so much anymore. I'd say YES, trade the IN game for a game against good ol Duke, but that may need to be a game where no fans were allowed...just sayin...lol

    Would love to play Duke but I don't think Coach K would come to Lexington to play. He might opt for a neutral sight, he likes to keep his Dukies close to home. You can't spell dUKe without UK

    We we play Duke in 2012 in the Champions Classic or whatever but i would love to see a yearly game. One year at Rupp and the next at Duke. It would be good for the sport.
