Two teams looking to put disastrous 2020-21 basketball seasons behind them will meet on the court Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden, the scene of the latest Kentucky–Duke battle.
It will be the final season opener for Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski, who will retire next year, and — unless the Cats and Blue Devils meet in the NCAA Tournament — this will also be the final time UK faces Coach K, who is 6-2 against Kentucky as Duke’s head coach.
Both teams missed March Madness in 2021, but both have reloaded, and Final Four aspirations for 2022 appear to be realistic once again going into this season.
Walter Cornett, of Glendale, Kentucky, is the owner and operator of Walter’s Wildcat World. He founded WildcatWorld.com in 1998 making it one of the oldest Kentucky basketball fan sites in operation today.
