Blue Devils hope to
dance to the crown
By JODY TAYLOR
Associated Press Writer
DURHAM, N.C. - In a season
when more than one team has been
called Cinderella in the ballyhooed
search for the NCAA basketball
champion, Duke believes there has
been more than one pumpkin.
"I think we're Cinderella," Mike
Krzyzewski, coach of the top-ranked
Blue Devils, said yesterday. "The
dance is just longer."
"If all those other teams are Cinderella
, it must have struck midnight,"
senior forward David
Henderson said. '
Duke, 36-2, reached the NCAA Final
Four with a 71-50 victory over
Navy Sunday in the East Regional
final at East Rutherford, N.J. The
Blue Devils will meet second-ranked
Kansas Saturday at Dallas, and if
they win, will face the winner of the
Louisville-Louisiana State game for
the championship.
This will be the Blue Devils' first
trip to the Final Four since 1978, when
they lost to Kentucky, 98-94, in the
final.
Krzyzewski said the trip will not be
all business.
"I think you have to make sure you
appreciate your moment now,"
Krzyzewski said. "If I'm wrong, I'll
pay the price for it. With a mature
team, you have a greater chance to
do it ... if we remember who we
are.''
Confidence, Krzyzewski said, is not
a problem. Since Duke ascended to
the No.l ranking Feb.25,
Krzyzewski said college basketball
watchers have been waiting for the
Blue Devils to stumble.
"Teams come into games thinking
they can beat us," Krzyzewski said.
" 'We match up well with Duke.' I've
heard that for 38 games."
"I heard this one time: 'Duke is
No. 1 and they're dangling,' " Henderson
said. "I don't know what it will
take. I think many other teams in the
nation would like to have accomplished
this.
"Before the Navy game, I kept
hearing, 'What is Duke going to do
with David Robinson?' " Henderson
said. "In my eyes, what was David
Robinson going to do with Duke?"
Krzyzewski said the Blue Devils
will concentrate on what he believes
has gotten them this far — defense.
"I ve given them a lot of freedom
on offense, but we're strict on defense,"
Krzyzewski said. "On defense,
they are supposed to be at a
proper place at a proper time. If they
don't, we get beat."
One pleasant surprise against Navy
was Duke's rebounding. The Blue
Devils outrebounded the Middies, 49-
29, surprising Robinson, the 6-foot-ll
Navy center.
"Nobody has pounded us like that,"
Robinson said. "Every time I turned
around they had a rebound."
"Rebounding does not come naturally
to us," Krzyzewski said. "It's
not going to come to us. We have to go
after it. We have to concentrate on it
— concentrate on areas of weakness.
(But) if we outrebound our opponents
by an average of 19 in the Final Four,
I'll be happy."

Duke's Mark Alarie (32) goes up for a shot against Old Dominion during the
second round of the NCAA tournament earlier this month. Alarie and his No. 1
Blue Devil teammates advanced to this weekend's Final Four by defeating Navy
Sunday in Greensboro, N.C. Duke will meet No. 2 Kansas on Saturday for the
right to advance to the championship game.
Kansas looks to avoid
repeat of first meeting

LAWRENCE, Kan. - The Kansas
team that will play Duke in the semifinals
of the NCAA basketball tournament
is much improved over the one
that lost 92-86 to the Blue Devils in
December, Danny Manning said yesterday.
"We're a much better team, but so
are they," Kansas' 6-foot-ll sophomore
said.
The Kansas-Duke game Saturday
in Dallas will match the No. 1 and
No. 2 teams in the country.
Manning, the Player of the Year in
the Big Eight Conference and hero of
the 75-67 victory over North Carolina
State in Sunday's Midwest Regional
final, said the Jayhawks again will
lose to the Atlantic Coast Conference
champions — if they play with the
same lack of intensity as in the earlier
game.
The prelude to the NCAA semifinal
game came early in December at
New York in the final of the NIT Big
Apple tournament.
"It was like they wanted to win
more than we did," Manning said.
"The thing I remember about that
game is all the loose balls we didn't
get and all the rebounds they got and
we didn't get. They have a great team
and they beat us. But we really
weren't very aggressive that night."
Perhaps the sharpest, most painful
memory of the loss to Duke belongs to
senior forward Ron Kellogg, one of
four Kansas starters with more than
1,000 career points.
"I remember the man I was guarding,
David Henderson, scoring 30
points against us," he said. "It's the
most points anybody ever scored
against me. He was making his first
start of the year and I didn't have any
idea of what to expect. Coach (Larry)
Brown told me to be careful because
he was a tough player. He was. He
penetrated hard to the basket and
went right past me. That's one of the
things we're going to have to correct."
Brown agreed with Manning on the
improvement of his 35-3 team, which
won the Big Eight regular season and
postseason titles and set a conference
record for victories.
"I know as a coach I'm more comfortable
with this team today than
back in December," he said. "I want
the kids to be proud of what they
accomplished in getting to the Final
Four. But I don't want them to be
content. Not yet. We still have a goal
of a national championship. That's
within our grasp."
Calvin Thompson, the senior guard
who scored 26 points in the overtime
victory against Michigan State in the
Midwest semifinals, said it did not
take long for the Jayhawks to stop
celebrating being the first Big Eight
team in 12 years to reach the Final
Four.
"We took our showers after we beat
North Carolina State Sunday," he
said. "And then we started thinking
about Duke. Getting to the Final Four
was one of our goals this season. Just
one."
