The long road that was Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski’s farewell tour has ended in a crash landing.
With a gritty second-half performance, North Carolina pulled off an unexpected upset that spoiled Krzyzewski’s final game at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
The odds were clearly stacked against the Tar Heels—Duke went into Saturday’s matchup ranked No. 4, had already clinched the No. 1 seed for the ACC tournament and will do no worse than tie for first place in the ACC regular season standings.
But, a 94–81 victory in front of a packed Cameron Indoor Stadium and 96 former Blue Devils players added a bump in the long road of Coach K’s farewell tour.
