Duke debuts exciting freshman class.
Defending national champs Duke opens the 2015-16 campaign Friday with Siena, and after Cameron, the Saints are flying out to Madison to take on last year's runner-up as well.
Siena is sort of in the second tier of Catholic basketball schools. Most of the top tier is in the Big East now, excepting the ACC's Notre Dame, which used to be before defecting to the ACC.
Siena is coached by former Maryland assistant Jimmy Patsos, who did a remarkable job in his previous position at Loyola (Md.) Loyola is a terrible place for basketball.
