Ticket costs for Saturday's potential Final Four preview featuring No. 1 Michigan and No. 3 Duke in Washington, D.C., went from expensive to astronomical on the resale marketplace this week.
The Wolverines (25-1), the projected No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, and Blue Devils (24-2) are currently leading their respective conferences and are frontrunners to cut down the nets in Indianapolis in April.
Billed as the "Duel in the District," the pairing is making for a hot ticket with available tickets fetching four figures for the Saturday night (6:30 p.m. ET) showdown.
