Over on the Twitter, Jon Rothstein posts that Duke will host Arizona in Cameron in “the first nine days” of this coming season, then take on Michigan State too.
He says that’s the “kind of pop” college basketball needs to start the season.
He’s right about that, and it’ll be a lot more fun to see Uf of A than, say, a directional school from the great state of Arkansas (though we did like when the Wonderboys dropped by) but it needs something else.
What we’d like to see is a large pre-season tournament that features teams that a lot is expected from.
