Ahead of the biggest game of his coaching career, North Carolina coach Hubert Davis entered the Superdome in New Orleans on Saturday night and saw coach Kay's wife, Mickey, sitting in the tunnel outside the locker room.
Davis, upon entering the arena with his headphones on, made sure to stop and say hello and good luck to the wife of the famous Duke coach.
Given the impact of the contest, Saturday night's fling has fueled monumental publicity. The coach is in his final season and is two wins away from his sixth and final national championship. Davis, after years as an assistant under Roy Williams, is looking to make history by leading the Tar Heels to the national championship in his first year as head coach.
As if those reasons weren't enough, this is the first time that these two bitter rivals have met in an NCAA tournament, let alone the Final Four.
Despite being on the line in Saturday night's second national semifinal, Davis put everything aside to say hello to Mickey Krzyzewski before entering the locker room.
