Duke dodged top-ranked opponent on Canadian tour

They already won their first game against Ryerson University (they were down after the first quarter, but who’s counting), are currently in the middle of their second game against the University of Toronto, and will face off against McGill University on Sunday. Three games in five days compared to Kentucky’s four games in five days.

And apparently, the Blue Devils went out of their way to avoid one of the best universities in all of Canada.

The Carleton University Ravens, a team that defeated Wisconsin in 2014 (yes, those Badgers), the national champion Kansas Jayhawks in 2009, and Division 1 programs such as Cincinnati, Ole Miss, and South Dakota State this week alone, were shut down when they tried to play Duke on this trip.
