No. 2 Duke will dance its way into the Final Four for the first time since 2015 after beating No. 4 Arkansas in the Elite Eight on Saturday.
Led by All-ACC phenom Paolo Banchero and standout AJ Griffin, the Blue Devils cruised past the Razorbacks, 78–69, to punch their ticket to New Orleans and extend coach Mike Krzyzewski’s farewell tour.
With 101 NCAA tournament wins and 13 Final Four berths to his name, Coach K officially passed legendary UCLA coach John Wooden for the most Final Four appearances in men’s college basketball history (12).
After a back-and-forth start to the contest, Duke began building momentum thanks to an early 8–0 run with the game tied 14–14.
