About 150 Duke students geared up for Wednesday night's Duke-North Carolina game by providing a rousing audience for a live broadcast of ESPN’s “First Take” talk morning show in Penn Pavilion.
Duke cheerleaders, the Blue Devil mascot and Duke pep band, as well as the dining services staff dressed in Duke tshirts, also contributed to the festive atmosphere.
The show featured discussions about headlines in the sports world plus analysis of the Blue Devils-Tar Heels matchup from hosts Stephen A. Smith, Skip Bayless and Cari Champion. Former Blue Devils basketball player and current ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas joined the trio for part of the show.
