Duke and Kentucky play collide on November 9th, for possibly the final time in Mike Krzyzewski’s career. He has coached against every UK coach since Eddie Sutton in 1989.
The most famous game of course was the 1992 East Regional Finals where Christian Laettner RIPPED THE STILL BEATING HEART out of Kentucky Basketball (and stomped on it).
Interestingly, while Krzyzewski has coached against Sutton, Rick Pitino, Tubby Smith and John Calipari, missing only Billy Gillispie’s brief, chaotic reign.
Interestingly, after losing to Kentucky in the 1978 national championship game, Duke has gone 8-2 against the Wildcats and in the process become possibly even more hated by the BBN than Louisville.
