Do they stop in Knoxville then, or go straight to Raleigh?
(Just noticed that's going to pretty much be two home games in a row for Duke if they beat Mercer.)
You've got to go back a long time when NC didn't host some part of the tournament.
I'm pretty sure UT played Louisville in 2008 in Charlotte in a Sweet 16 game when they got smoked.
Didn't UT play Michigan in Charlotte in 2011?
Yeah but I mean, Raleigh is just under half an hour from Durham; they share an airport.
I am less familiar with the tournament's history though; do Duke/UNC (in their better years) generally get opening games as close to home as this?
