The Blue Devils earned their spot in the Final Four after beating No. 4 Arkansas on Saturday night. The win gave Coach K his 13th career Final Four appearance, passing UCLA legend John Wooden for the most all-time.
Meanwhile, Jay Wright’s Wildcats advanced after beating No. 5 Houston Saturday afternoon. ’Nova will enter the game without one of its best players in Justin Moore, who was diagnosed with a torn right Achilles after prematurely exiting against the Cougars.
