Duke NC State Tickets

The Blue Devils have many rivals on the hardwood, and no doubt fans are eagerly awaiting their Duke NC State tickets for this season's upcoming match-up between the two schools. The Blue Devils and the Wolfpack have played each other many times throughout the years, and it always turns out to be a fierce game. Through February 2004, Duke held a 129-95 advantage over their fellow Atlantic Coast Conference opponents. Of course, you throw those kinds of numbers out the window when you have two in-state rivals like Duke and North Carolina State going at it. This is big time NCAA basketball. It is what collegiate athletics are all about. If you manage to secure tickets to a game like this one, you'd better come prepared for an intense game with lots of nail-biting moments, and maybe even a buzzer-beater to end it.

Notable NC State alumni include U.S. Senator and former vice-presidential candidate John Edwards, former North Carolina governor James B. Hunt Jr., singer John Tesh, professional football players Philip Rivers and Torry Holt, former NFL great Roman Gabriel and basketball legend David Thompson. Certainly, the school has had its fair share of former students go out and make an impact on the world. And if you're a Duke fan, now you know some things that might make them feel better once they've seen your Blue Devils whip their beloved Wolfpack all over the basketball court.
