Michigan vs. Duke is set to be one of the best games of the college hoops season
Capital One Arena is going to be back, but the fact that tickets are so expensive is pretty wild. In section 121, there are currently two seats available for $3,770. Are people getting ready to see an entertaining regular season showdown or the Super Bowl?
In all seriousness, it's a bit eye-opening that prices have reached that kind of a level, but you better believe that countless college hoops fans are counting down the minutes for tip-off. Michigan will enter this contest as the No. 1 team in the country, while Duke is No. 3.
The Blue Devils are of course led by freshman sensational Cameron Boozer, who is no question living up to the 5-star hype surrounding his name. Boozer won't have to hear his name called once the 2026 NBA Draft arrives, but that's not going to mean anything once Saturday night gets here.
Michigan is going to work overtime in trying to contain Boozer and the other playmakers on the Blue Devils roster. This is expected to be a back-and-forth affair and it could indeed end up being a preview of two teams pushing for the national title later this year.
