If you want college basketball at its finest, then you should grab yourself some Duke Blue Devils Basketball tickets and head over to Cameron Indoor Stadium. Duke is one of the most well known basketball teams in the nation because of their impressive winning history. Over the past 25 years, under the coaching genius of Mike Kryzewski, the Blue Devils have had successes like winning the ACC Tournament five years in a row from 1999 to 2003, and making five consecutive Final Four appearances from 1988 to 1992, as well as being the only team to have won three national championships since the NCAA Tournament was expanded to 64 teams.
The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) is widely considered the best basketball conference in the nation. Coaches like Mike Kryzewski, Roy Williams, Dean Smith, Garry Williams, Lefty Driesell, Bobby Cremins, and Jim Valvano have all been part of the great tradition of coaching elite teams in this hotly contested conference. The twelve teams that make up the ACC have some of the biggest rivalries in all of college basketball. The rivalry between Duke and North Carolina brings sell out crowds to the stadium, as well as drawing in even casual basketball viewers to the television broadcasts, but Duke-North Carolina is not the only story in the ACC. Teams like Maryland, Wake Forest, Florida State, Georgia Tech, N.C. State and Virginia are almost always playing in the NCAA March Madness Tournament and contending for another national title for an ACC team.
The ACC has produced a lot of great basketball players that have moved on to make names for them selves in the NBA, and Duke is no exception. Players like Grant Hill, Christian Laettner, Elton Brand, Carlos Boozer, and Mike Dunleavy all learned to play winning basketball under Coach K while attending Duke University, and we are sure to see names like J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams in basketball news for many years to come.
With all this tradition and excellence on the court year after year, you cannot afford to miss out on what will surely be another great year for Duke Basketball and their fans, the “Cameron Crazies.” Where will you be the next time Duke and North Carolina meet, or when the Maryland Terrapins step onto the court against the Blue Devils? Will you have seats at Cameron Indoor Stadium to see all the dunking and dishing in one of the most exciting college arenas in the nation, or will you have to settle for less? The chance to grab some Duke Basketball tickets is now.
