SAN FRANCISCO — Mike Krzyzewski’s final tour added one final stop on the bayou.
No. 9 Duke muscled its way past No 17 Arkansas, 78-69, in the NCAA Tournament’s West Regional final Saturday night at the Chase Center, sending the Blue Devils and their retiring coach to the Final Four in New Orleans.
Coaching in his 17th Elite Eight game with Duke, the 75-year-old Krzyzewski has led the Blue Devils (32-6) to the Final Four for the 13th time. That’s more Final Four appearances than any other men’s college basketball coach.
