Duke Rips Arkansas 78-69, Sends Coach K to NCAA Record-Breaking 13th Final Four

Fittingly, Mike Krzyzewski’s final chapter as Duke’s basketball coach will be at the Final Four.

And win or lose, he will stand alone.

No. 2 seed Duke beat No. 4 seed Arkansas, 78-69, on Saturday night in the NCAA Tournament West Region championship game in San Francisco to send Coach K to his NCAA record-breaking 13th Final Four. He broke the mark of 12 by the late UCLA coach John Wooden, who last went in 1975 when he won his 10th national championship after announcing his retirement at age 64 just two days previously.
