Baylor, Marquette, Alabama, Creighton, Xavier, Iona, and a team that will be announced later are scheduled to join Michigan in Orlando. It would be interesting if Michigan and Baylor ended up playing, as Ekpe Udoh, who transferred to Baylor after last season, will be eligible to play in 2009.

Therefore they would probably be about equal in importance. My tiebreaker is that I will be at the game on Saturday (as well as trey zeigler) and would LOVE to come away with a huge victory at home and generate fan excitement for the rest of the basketball season. I will say Duke is more important overall.

If our only two losses are to Duke, with wins against UCLA and Maryland, then it's kind of like still being undefeated. I’m with AG2 on this one.

Nobody will care if we get swept by a likely #1 seed come tournament time, but a road win vs. an ACC team will be extremely important. I’d rather have the win vs. Maryland.

I think the likelihood of beating MD is far greater (turnovers will be key), but I want a win over Duke far more. I will be very happy if we win either of the games.

What do people want more... a maryland win or a duke win?? If i can have just one I think I take the duke win....thoughts????
