January 15, 201016 yr Yes.....but Duke doesn't really struggle with finding opponents to do it...I don't really know why teams don't do it.... Me either. Football I can understand because one loss can knock you out of the title hunt. Basketball? Come on.
January 15, 201016 yr Yes.....but Duke doesn't really struggle with finding opponents to do it...I don't really know why teams don't do it.... Well, I believe there is a lot to be said about building a successful team and their confidence. At least half of your conference season (when games really start to matter) are on the road, and I would say 99% of coaches want to prepare their squad for those environments. One must do well on the road in conference to build a resume. I am not saying it would have changed the outcome, but maybe had Duke played another road game against a challenging opponent, they win at Georgia Tech last week. Who knows?
January 15, 201016 yr Doesn't Coach K try to play a game fairly close to each one of his players hometown by the time they graduate? What if he signed a player from Lexington? Then they would play Missouri at Freedom Hall.

That was a Dean Smith thing; I recall it because I remember UNC playing a road game at Marquette in their old place while Joe Wolf was there (at least, that was the first I heard about it back then). I don't recall that being a Coach K thing; though I may be wrong.
