College basketball fans eagerly anticipating next season's Duke-Kentucky matchup won't have to wait until Nov. 13 to see Mike Krzyzewski coach against John Calipari. On Thursday night in Las Vegas, the Krzyzewski-led U.S. national team will face the Dominican Republic,coached by Calipari, in an exhibition game. Calipari nearly directed the Dominican team to a berth in this summer's London Olympics, but it lost 88-73 on Sunday against Nigeria, which qualified for the last spot and will join the United States, Lithuania, Tunisia, France and Argentina in Group A.
