Robertson Scholars Go Under Cover for Tickets

Behind enemy lines? A group of UNC students who wanted to catch all the action camped out at Krzyzewskiville for tickets to Saturday's big game.

They are Robertson scholars - students who split their time between both campuses. They enjoy full privileges at both UNC and Duke, which includes getting basketball tickets.

The students say they consider themselves more Tar Heel than Blue Devil. But Freshman John Woolsin said he had to hide his allegiance while waiting in line for tickets.

And they were captured in all their Carolina-blue glory by ESPN cameras Saturday night. I'm sure they all agree that their four seconds of fame was worth spending an entire week in a tent.
