Basketball is starting to destroy football

Duke (4-5 in football), NC State (3-6 in football), Clemson (4-5 in football), Virginia (5-5 in football) all have good reason to turn their heads away from the awful play on the gridiron and towards the possibly pleasant play on the hardwood this November.

But hey, what about the winners? Wake Forest (6-3 in football), Virginia Tech (6-3 in football), North Carolina (7-2 in football)?

Even those fans really don't give a shit...

Nearly three-quarters of the unsold tickets come from a 4,000-seat block set aside for the visiting team. North Carolina has accounted for approximately 1,100 tickets, which is less than the 1,200 both N.C. State and Wake Forest sold for their games last month.

An educated guess as to why sales would be so tepid for fans of a 7-2 team enjoying its best season in a decade? Well, the top-ranked Carolina basketball team opens its season Saturday at 4 p.m., meeting Penn in the Dean Dome.


College hoops. It's FAN-tastic!
