Juan Dixon was a thorn in Duke’s side as a player.
The former Maryland Terrapin star will try to cause some havoc at Cameron Indoor Stadium as a coach this month. Dixon’s Coppin State squad will play duke.
CSU will head to the historic Cameron Indoor Stadium to face Duke University on Saturday, November 28. This will be the first time that Coppin has went head-to-head against the five-time National Champion Blue Devils.
Cameron was the site where a sophomore Juan Dixon scored 31 points in Feb. 2000 to end Duke’s 46-game home winning streak. He did it again the next year when he scored 28 points and had five steals in Maryland’s road win.
Dixon is 24-72 in three seasons at Coppin State. The team went 11-20 last season, including four non-conference wins.
