12:30 p.m.
Two of college basketball’s most famed coaches go head to head Sunday for a spot in the Final Four.
Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and Michigan State’s Tom Izzo face off in the East regional final of the NCAA Tournament. Krzyzewski has 12 Final Four trips and five national titles. Izzo has seven Final Four appearances and a national championship since taking over at Michigan State in 1995.
Izzo says he hopes the game is as good as the billing.
The Blue Devils have won nine of the past 10 and seven straight in the series, including a victory in the 2015 Final Four. Krzyzewski downplays that.
He says his team is playing the Michigan State of today, which is capable of defeating Duke.
