Legendary Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson predicts Coach K's Duke farewell tour ends Saturday

Richardson, 80, clearly is relishing the Arkansas-Duke matchup. In 1994, his Razorbacks beat Krzyzewski’s Blue Devils, 76-72, in the national championship game.

Now led by head coach Eric Musselman, the Razorbacks are looking to return to the Final Four for the first time since Richardson led the program there in 1995.“I’ve always loved the team, their makeup,’’ said Richardson, whose 17-year tenure at Arkansas ended in 2002. “I love a team that’ll hang their hats on their defense. They’ve done that. And their leadership has gotten better each and every ballgame.

“To let him know he’s done a phenomenal job,’’ Richardson said. “And hopefully he can continue to get their team where I know he would love to go and want to be, and that’s basically at the Final Four.
