In what some consider the greatest rivalry in all of sports, the Duke men's basketball team will host North Carolina this Saturday, pitting the number-one Tar Heels against the sixth-ranked Blue Devils.
XM will carry three live broadcasts of the game at 9pm ET/6pm PT: XM will air the Duke radio broadcast on XM Channel 190, the UNC feed on XM Channel 192, and the national radio broadcast from ISP Sports on XM Channel 191.
Over on XM Sports Nation (ch 144), host T.J. Rives will broadcast live from "Krzyzewskiville," the tent city outside Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium, where students camp out for months to get the best seats for the storied game.
Rives will be live from "K-ville" on Saturday from 12-noon - 2pm ET and 5pm - 8pm ET.

@rjr: Well, no I'm not actually. But I just thought that since XM is dedicating 3 channels to the event itself, and an additional channel (XMSN) will be live at Duke's Stadium, AND that its one of the largest rivalry matchups in sports... maybe, just maybe, some folks would find this interesting.
How about this: Tell me which college you graduated from and I'll post about it.

I for one would like to see more incessant posts about this merger.
Nothing is more exciting than legalese and bureaucracy.

Fabulous. I'd much rather listen to this game on XM than watching in on my HD flatscreen. Who needs to see it in real time when you can listen to it delayed.
I also love hearing the local farm supplier commercials during the breaks.
Honey, throw out the TV - fire up the XM.

Aww somebody doesnt like XM so any sports on it must suck. thats a shame.
personally, I am in the process of moving and have no cable at my house so thanks to ryan I now know to bring my inno with me so I can listen to the game this weekend. I completely forgot about it and assumed I was going to miss it.
I hate Duke so much...

Yeah, nothing beats watching the game on my HD TV while driving down the road. Moron.

Funny, if this was about NASCAR or the NFL, you moronic Sirius fanboys would be singing its praises. Who cares that they're the leading reasons why people buy HDTVs or anything...
I can't stand you assholes.

Ha! Ryan, I'm sorry, but those of us who are University of Kentucky fans instinctively react to any love fest thrown Duke's way. My apologies to all who were offended...
