SYRACUSE, N.Y.—Duke couldn’t have had a better first half in head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s final visit to the Carrier Dome, utilizing 3-point marksmanship and exceptional ball movement to take a 51-34 lead entering the break. Here are five observations from the first 20 minutes.
It's Duke against North Carolina. Coach K's last time in the Dean Dome. Hubert Davis' first time as head coach in the rivalry. Should we go on? As ESPN basketball analyst Jay Bilas says, this matchup always delivers, and our beats did their best at predicting the outcome of the first installment of this year's series. Saturday's game is set to tip off at 7 p.m. in Chapel Hill.
2021 was a season of exciting highs and disappointing lows for Duke. The Blue Devils fielded what was arguably, on paper, the most talented squad in their history. They won the regular season ACC title and entered the NCAA tournament as the national No. 3, led by the recently-departed offensive weapon that was Michael Sowers and miserly defending of J.T. Giles-Harris. Despite the names it boasted and raw talent it had at its disposal, Duke ultimately found itself on the way home after a crushing semifinal loss to Maryland, though, and with questions over whether an abundance of star names is key to success in May.
Since Mike Krzyzewski was hired in 1980, he has elevated the Duke-North Carolina rivalry to something approaching holiness. Every iteration of the rivalry attracts thousands of fans and let’s be honest, millions of dollars. Hundreds of Duke students sleep for months each year in a patch of grass bearing Krzyzewski’s name just for the chance to watch Coach K lead the Blue Devils against the team that lives 20 minutes away.
