The Duke-North Carolina game on Saturday night was the final one for Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, and North Carolina spoiled the party, defeating the fourth-ranked Duke, 94-81.
After the game, Krzyzewski stepped up to the microphone in front of his fans and said, "Thank you for all of your support." Everyone be quiet. That is unacceptable. Today was not acceptable.
It's kind of a dick move to use that moment to trash the effort of a bunch of college kids who just lost a rivalry game, but that's the kind of high standard that Krzyzewski has set for Duke. Saturday night was the most one-sided loss to the Tar Heels since a year ago.
It was Duke's first home loss to North Carolina since February 6, 2021.
It was weird for everyone and especially for Duke, which had not lost to UNC in Durham in over a decade, when the Heels came to Durham and laid a 16-point beating. There is a Blue Devil team.
