Game tips at 9:00, but the Gary ceremony begins around 8:40ish. If you're wondering if you can see it on TV: Louisville-Villanova is on ESPN before the Maryland game, but I've been told the ESPN3 link will go live a half-hour before the game starts. So that may be where you can see it.

Anyway, game is on ESPN on the real 'tube, at least once Nova and the Ville finish things up. TV crew is Dan Shulman and Bobby Knight, and I literally couldn't have asked for a better combo, short of Uncle Verne somehow working his way in there.

Random, Baseless Prediction: Nick Faust goes 2-3 from beyond the arc, but the one that misses gets stuck between the rim and backboard. I don't believe we have a name for that.

Prediction: Like I said earlier, Duke will win this game. But we're a Maryland sports blog and this is basically our Super Bowl - not just because it's home against Duke, but because it's Gary's game. So I'm calling for the epic upset win.
