Duke headlines the NCAA Tournament's East Region as a No. 1 seed and will open the push for the program’s sixth national title with a short drive from campus.

The Blue Devils (31-3) begin play Friday in Raleigh, a familiar location as home to Atlantic Coast Conference neighbor N.C. State and roughly a 30-minute drive east of Duke’s campus in Durham.
