On Thursday, Feb. 27, 1986, a group of Duke students from the Mirecourt House decided over a game of quarters that they wanted to get a jump on securing seats to see the No. 1 Blue Devils host their archenemy, the No. 3 UNC Tar Heels.
The group, made up mostly of ROTC cadets, pitched tents next to Cameron Indoor Stadium a full four days before what became a glorious Sunday afternoon 82-74 Duke victory. As they camped, Mike Krzyzewski, in his sixth season as head coach, brought pizzas to the Duke devotees.
When one of them scribbled "Krzyzewskiville" onto a piece of cardboard and taped it to a post, college basketball's most famous village was born.
