The news that Duke and Arizona had set up a home-and-home series is great for college basketball. The schools have had some tremendous matchups over the years, with the biggest one obviously being Duke’s 2001 national championship win over the Wildcats.
The other high point was Arizona’s double-overtime win in 1991.
Duke fans are intimately familiar with Mike Krzyzewski, who stepped down after this year’s Final Four but Lute Olson was also a phenomenal coach and his teams played beautiful basketball.
When the teams meet in 2023 of course, Tommy Lloyd will be coaching Arizona and Jon Scheyer will be coaching Duke.
