Duke and UNLV haven’t played each other since battling in consecutive Final Fours in the early 90s and while the rematch has been set for Saturday, Dec. 10 at T-Mobile Arena, the only thing that has stayed the same in 25 years is Coach Krzyzewski.
The two programs went in two completely different directions after UNLV lost in the 1991 National Semifinals to Duke.
The Rebels went from being a national powerhouse in college basketball to playing in just 8 NCAA Tournaments in 24 years, made it past the first round only twice and had a lone Sweet 16 appearance under Lon Kruger.
