Well unless they make a change in scheduling it appears that Duke is set to play Purdue at Mackey Areana next year for the Big 10/ACC challenge.  The pairings are arranged by ESPN, and a newspaper out of Madison reported this as part of a gripe they have with Wisconsin most likely having to play on the road again(6 of the 9 games have been on the road).  Although the official schedule won't be announced till July, Purdue has these games set up for next year:

Pre-Season NIT-2 guarantee games, 4 if they win the first two.

Home vs Valpo

Home vs Duke

Wooden Tradition @ Indy vs TBD

Assuming they get a quality team in the tradition and they win their pod at the NIT, that will be 4 quality games in what probably will be a 12 game Non-Conference schedule. At least we won't have to worry too much at SOS next year.

I am more surprised Duke is actually able to leave Cameron.  It seems like they play EVERY game there.  I figured we should be matched up with Duke based on the standings.  BOILER UP!

These two teams are in similar situation, yet a year apart. In the  '06-'07 season Duke was ranked throughout the season in the lover top 25 and were led by freshmen and sophmores and as of this past season they were a top 10 team throughout the seaosn. Now as Purdue did this past season, you can compare them to how Duke was in the '06-'07 season. Lets all hope Purdue do the same this coming season and be a top 10 team throught the season and get a win against Duke! We all rememebr the #1 Duke team being defeated by Purdue and Willie Deane.
