That's like saying if Duke and UNC played in Raleigh, it would be about an even split, since both teams are equidistant. We all know that's not true.
The state of North Carolina loves them some Heels. The vast, vast majority of non-allotted ticket-holders will be North Carolina residents. They will be rooting for the Heels. The best Tennessee (or any regional final opponent) can hope for is to do a full court press on the fans from the two losing teams in the Sweet 16. But they'll still be dramatically underrepresented.
Just be you. You is enough. - K, 4/5/10, 0:13.8 to play, 60-59 Duke.
You're all jealous hypocrites. - Titus on Laettner
You see those guys? Animals. They're animals. - SIU Coach Chris Lowery, on Duke
