DURHAM (WTVD) -- Hoping for another victorious trip the the Final Four, Duke fans made their way to Cameron Indoor Stadium Wednesday afternoon to give their team a proper send-off.

Indianapolis is the sweet spot for Duke, having won two national titles there before.

Coach Mike Krzyzewski led the way, greeting fans with high-fives as he made his way to the charter bus parked outside. Quinn Cook, Jahlil Okafor and the rest of the Blue Devils followed suit as the crowd wished them good luck.

Before heading out of town to Indianapolis, Coach K shared his excitement.

"Go Duke!" he said before boarding the bus to Raleigh-Durham International Airport. "We're happy! I mean how exciting for us to be in the Final Four. It's great!"

Duke players, coaches, staff, band, and cheerleaders were set to fly out of RDU to Indianapolis Wednesday night.

The Blue Devils face Michigan State Saturday at 6:09 p.m.

If Duke beats the Spartans Saturday, it's on to the NCAA National Championship game Monday night where they'll face the winner of Kentucky vs. Wisconsin.

The team arrived in Indianapolis later in the evening.
