Duke Favored to Clobber UNLV in Old Rivalry Renewed

The Runnin' Rebels and Duke Blue Devils will take to the court at the new T-Mobile Arena in December. Despite this match-up being a classic throw back, Duke is favored to take UNLV to task.

If this were the early 1990s and a non-conference neutral court match up was announced between UNLV and Duke, college basketball fans across the country would swoon. However, when it was announced that the Blue Devils and Runnin' Rebels would face off against each other at the new T-Mobile Arena on December 10, there was likely the sound of proverbial crickets among the college basketball world.
