DURHAM — Duke coach David Cutcliffe worked in the SEC a long, long time so he has a gazillion stories. He opened his press conference on Tuesday with this one about his close encounter with the Mike V, the Bengal tiger who served as the LSU mascot from 1990 until his death in May 2007, in Baton Rouge as the Ole Miss coach in 1999.
You can listen to Cutcliffe tell the story in the audio clip below. Duke (4-5, 1-4 ACC) plays another set of Tigers, from Clemson (4-5, 2-4), on Saturday at noon. The game will be televised locally by Raycom.
