It’s a safe bet that Kyrie Irving will be looking for the nearest television as soon as the Nets’ next game ends on Saturday night to watch Duke vs. North Carolina in the Final Four.
Irving’s alma mater, Duke, will try to extend retiring coach Mike Krzyzewski’s career one more game by beating rival North Carolina in the Final Four on Saturday night. North Carolina spoiled Krzyzewski’s final home game. This will be their first-ever NCAA Tournament meeting.
“Coach’s legacy is not necessarily on the line, but the way they came into Cameron Indoor for the last home game for Coach K left a bad taste,” Irving recalled Thursday, after the“I think there will be a little bit of a redemptive attitude going in. I know the guys are looking forward to that opportunity to really redeem Coach K and also the program, but I don’t want to put too much pressure on them. It’s another game for them to really show who they are and play as a team.
Irving played 11 games for Duke during an injury-plagued 2010-11 freshman season before turning pro, but he has remained close to Krzyzewski through shared experiences with Team USA. The Nets face the Hawks at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday and Duke-UNC is scheduled for an 8:49 p.m. tip-off.
