Competition for fans in the Triangle is intense for NCAA Basketball

Competition for fans in the Triangle is intense, especially with the Carolina Hurricanes selling out all their games. Both N.C. State and UNC have new head men's basketball coaches, and tickets for Friday night's home games are plentiful, and cheap. Both universities have big, passionate fan bases, of course, but it will be interesting to see how fans respond as the season unfolds — and the Canes gather steam as one of the NHL's top teams.
