Charlotte vs Duke??

I dont know who their last home loss was too, but a lot of good teams have gone up there and been done in by that crowd and the ridiculous home cooking they get from the zebras. Marquette went up there a couple years ago and just got slaughtered.

Tht said, Rutgers nearly got them two years ago (for those of us counting the Rutgers game as a gimme - wake up!), and Detroit, of all teams, nearly got them there last year. Duke trailed nearly that entire game. Detroit played really great team ball up until the closing minutes, and then came unglued at the end, as the homer zebras and the fans got to them. The final nails were their own players trying to make “hero” plays down the stretch, taking them out of their offense. Boy, was that ever painfully familiar.

This isnt the Duke dynasty of the past though. UVa played them really well in the ACC tournament, despite making boneheaded mistake after mistake on offensive possessions.

When’s the ACC tournament coming to Charlotte again? Mike P brought this up before. ACC teams will be looking for games in the new arena. I assume that’s what Duke is doing.

Duke’s last home loss to an OOC opponent was in 2002 to St. John’s.
