PITT-stop @ MSG

It's been confirmed, Duke will play Pittsburgh at Madison Square Garden on December 20th. These two teams were on a collision course in the NCAA Tournament last season but VCU and Eric Maynor spoiled the potential matchup. If they would've met last season, I think the first team to 40 would've won the game. This year, I'm not so sure. Pitt has lost their front line to graduation but still have a tremendously physical back court that should give the Duke guards fits. Duke, outside of the recently fallen Brian Zoubek, also will feature a tremendous back court with a very uncertain front line. This matchup, between two programs built on hard-nose defense, could be a classic. You can bet that I will be in the stands to take every little bit in.
