BDN will chime in just before covering tonight's basketball opener versus UNC-G in a game that tips off at 7:00 on FSN.

We also encourage Duke fans and students to turn out for tomorrow's Georgia Tech game which kicks off at 7:00.  All military personnel and veterans receive four free tickets by showing their ID's.

Barnes decision is about four hours away now and fan bases from all the schools involved are tied in knots from anticipation.  This is a rare decision that has not been leaked by media members, meaning a kid will announce on his terms.
