Rivals Duke, North Carolina in titanic clash at Final Four​


The name "Tobacco Road" misses the point. The most important industry in the 11-mile stretch of real estate between North Carolina's two cathedrals of hoops, the Smith Center in Chapel Hill and Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, is basketball. For decades, a win, or loss, in any given matchup between Duke and North Carolina has had the power to shape the next week, or month, or year, for the thousands of fans who wear different shades of blue, and bring two different worldviews to one of the most intense rivalries in sports. On Saturday comes the 258th and most titanic meeting of them all. Blue Devils vs. Tar Heels in the Final Four, the first time that's ever happened. For North Carolina, this marks a record 21st trip to the Final Four. For Coach K, this is a record 13th trip to college basketball's biggest stage, which breaks a tie with UCLA legend John Wooden for most appearances by a coach. North Carolina leads the series 142-115. Since Coach K arrived at Duke in 1980, the Blue Devils are 50-49. (50-47 not counting the two games Krzyzewski missed when he missed 1995 for back surgery.)

Krzyzewski K-O'd: North Carolina takes out coach, Duke 81-77​


For the 48th time over 47 years of unparalleled coaching, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski took the slow walk to midcourt and shook the hand of the North Carolina coach who beat him. After that, he found his wife, Mickie, and they made the slow, sad walk, hand-in-hand, off the Superdome floor. Krzyzewski's remarkable career came to gut-wrenching close after Caleb Live made a key 3-pointer and three late free throws to lift the Tar Heels to their thrill-a-minute victory. This was the 258th, most consequential and maybe, just maybe, the very best meeting between these teams, whose arenas are separated by a scant 11 miles down on Tobacco Road. The eighth-seeded Tar Heels (29-9), of all teams, pinned the 368th and final loss on Krzyzewski. He finished with 1202 wins. His lifetime record against North Carolina fell to 50-48. Instead of Krzyzewski going for his sixth title, on Monday, Carolina will try to win its seventh. North Carolina is back on the verge again, playing in its third final since 2016 and looking for its second title since 2017 Win or lose, though, 2022 will always be remembered as the year North Carolina sent Coach K packing for good.

Bill Self & Co. find themselves in Monday night's championship for the first time since losing to Kentucky there in 2012.

The Tar Heels, meanwhile, are trying to lift their seventh NCAA championship trophy (1957, 1982, 1993, 2005, 2009, 2017) and first under head coach Hubert Davis.
