I know it might be a little early for this, but figured what the heck.
As some of you may already know, I live in Winston-Salem (about an hour and a half from Duke's campus). I have some friends coming out for the game, and we will be staying in Durham on Friday night at the Residence Inn Durham McPherson/Duke University Medical Center Area.
Who here plans to attend next weekend? Also, is there any word on any type of official (or unofficial) USD party at a bar or other location?
I tried contacting the Alumni Association a while back to help plan something, but nothing ever came of it after I inquired.
Let me know if you're going, and if you have any concrete plans for Friday night. If there are not plans as of now, I will be happy to contact some bars in Durham to try and get something planned.
Other than that, I'm excited to cheer again with some fellow Yotes!

Try calling them. But I bet there is an email that goes out from alumni association this week is my guess.

Does anyone know how big of a check we are getting for this game? I hope Krzyzewski still presents us with the game day check at half court (a la Ed McMahon) after the Dukies succumb to Sparkie and the boyz.

Here is a ridiculous stat: USD will be the 4th highest rated (RPI) team Duke has faced so far.
How the Yotes are ahead of Florida and Indiana is a discussion for another day...

What's your source? I see Florida and Indiana well ahead of South Dakota.

Is this the first game that USD has ever had broadcast on ESPN or ESPN2? I know we had the Summit title games on ESPNU, the NIT final on CBS Sports, and the game against Creighton on FS1...but I'm not recalling us ever having a game on a ESPN basic cable network.

I did a little research--USD played in the DII National Championship game in 1986 against NDSU and the game was telecast by ESPN. Wasn't at the game but watched it on TV. The Bison won 27-7. One play I remember was a punt returned for TD by Tyrone Braxton for the Bison. He went on to be an all pro DB for the Denver Broncos. For years after that the NCAA wouldn't put NCC teams in opposite brackets so they couldn't meet in the championship. USD had lost to NDSU in Fargo 21-12 earlier that year.

Thanks for the history lesson. I only know the D1 era so I was never going to guess that one.

Oh yeah. Let's hope this game is more memorable than that one.

OK so the Yotes took care of business against UMKC. It wasn't always pretty but a win is a win. Now onto Duke. Ok without starting a poll lets be honest what are the chances of the Coyotes winning in Cameron Indoor. Duke is on (I believe) a 137 game non conference home winning streak. They broke upon a tight game at Indiana tonight and won by 10. So they are now going into the game with the Coyotes at 9-0 and the undisputed #1 team in the universe. That is exactly what I was hoping for and would we want it any other way. Playing #1 in their gym and trying to break their long home court streak. So just how likely does everyone think the dream is to happen. What percentage chance do you give the Coyotes to win this game. If the Coyotes win it would be the #1 best win in the history of Coyote Athletics. I think everyone would probably have to agree with that. I will give the Coyotes a 0.75% chance of winning the game on Saturday. That is still a 1 in 125 chance of them winning if the math is correct.
My prediction is that Duke will win 82-65. I am going to say the Coyotes give a reasonably good effort on Saturday.
