#9(00+) - The number of wins Krzyzewski and Boeheim each will have when they face off February 1st, the highest combined total ever for a head-to-head matchup.

Krzyzewski - 957
Boeheim - 920
Knight - 899

They don't call me the best in the business for nothing.  Or at all really.

I would say that the cat-and-mouse game these two will engage in should be more entertaining than the game itself.  But let's be honest, these two coaches didn't get here by changing up what they do.  Duke will play pressure man-to-man defense.  Syracuse will play an active 2-3 zone.  And the world will continue to turn.
