When Denver’s schedule dropped last week, there was a weekend that immediately jumped out. But before the Pioneers finalized their plans to travel to North Carolina to take on Duke on Feb. 5 and UNC on Feb. 7, coach Bill Tierney asked his fifth-year players a simple question.
“Do we really want to play our two most challenging games in the same weekend?” The answer was a resounding yes.
“I know for the graduate students, we all came back to compete for a national championship,” attackman Ethan Walker said. “We all came back to play the Dukes and North Carolinas right. We wouldn’t want it any other way.”
