The Duke Blue Devils are having an interesting season to follow. This is mainly due to Coach Mike Krzyzewski trying to become the first men's basketball coach in Division I history to win 1,000 games. Right now, he is at 999 wins. Unfortunately for Duke fans, four of the next five Duke games are on the road so unless Duke loses three of those games, Coach K will most likely reach that milestone on the road against St. John’s at Madison Square Garden.

One of the most anticipated games every college basketball season is when Duke plays North Carolina. Considered the best rivalry in college basketball, fans are always willing to pay top dollar to see a great game. This year, North Carolina heads to Durham on February 18th. This year's game at Duke is one of the most expensive tickets in college basketball, according to TicketIQ. On the secondary ticket market, tickets are going for a whopping $2548.17 on average. The get-in price for this game is higher than the average ticket price of all remaining games at Cameron Indoor Stadium this year at $878.
With the addition of Syracuse to the ACC, fans were certainly excited to see games played between two of the most winning coaches in basketball history. Last year, the Duke and Syracuse matchups were some of the most watched games on TV. Plus, the game in Syracuse set the NCAA record for attendance for a regular season college basketball game. The game in Syracuse lived up to the hype as the Orange won in overtime and Duke ended up knocking off No. 1 Syracuse in Durham later on in the year, 66-60.
