As Duke fans prepare for the NCAA Tournament game on Friday, foes down the road are preparing for a bit of a bit of a different event. After a season in which the Tar Heels lost as many games as they won (16), North Carolina will be heading to the NIT Tournament for the first time since 2003.
But fear not, Tar Heels! You can still buy tickets to see the team play once more this season at the NIT Tournament—and it's just $5! That's $67 cheaper than Duke's student tickets, if you care to know.
Below is an email sent to the Tar Heels' student body. (Some information below has been withheld to protect the sender's identity.):
