Mike Krzyzewski's final game at Cameron Indoor Stadium didn't go as planned, as the Duke Blue Devils fell to the North Carolina Tar Heels 94-81.

The loss dropped the Blue Devils to 26-5, and it's no surprise Krzyzewski was upset given the circumstances.

"Coach K" is set to retire after the 2021-22 season, and despite a loss in his final game at Cameron Indoor, he will go down as one of the best college basketball coaches ever.

The 75-year-old has led the Blue Devils to five national titles and gone 1,123-307 in 42 years as the Duke's head coach. Considering Duke's season isn't over just yet, Krzyzewski still has some more time to make even more history before officially retiring.
