OK. So, Duke/UNC is the premier sporting event of the week. Yet, they always throw the first game on a Wednesday, the 2nd busiest day of the week for college hoops meaning lots of competition and lower ratings.

This week, there is 1 ACC game on Monday. 1 on Tuesday. 0 on Thursday. So, what day makes the most sense for Duke/UNC? Yep. Wednesday where it is 1 of 5 ACC games and goes head to head with no less than 2 other ACC games in the 9:00 hour.

Duke/UNC should be a showcase and it should be a game that stands alone, a game that all ACC fans can watch. If they must do the first game on a weekday, it should be Big Monday or Thursday.
