Nearly 100 former players is expected to be in the final home game against longtime rival North Carolina. Tickets for the game don’t come cheap, with some running into the tens of thousands of dollars.
Not all fans have to pay such a hefty price – a select number of tickets are exclusive to Duke students. But the road to getting one of the coveted tickets that make up the Cameron Crazies student section wasn’t easy.

Regardless of how Saturday’s game ends, Coach K is far from finished. The ACC tournament kicks off Tuesday in New York City with the NCAA March Madness tournament following shortly after.
