It's minor, but I was hoping Al could correct it, if he sees this, or someone can get a message to him. The article states:

– Head-to-head: Coach K leads 13-9

...

Interesting factoid for the K vs. Roy era – K has a 6-4 record against Williams in Chapel Hill … he has a 6-4 record against Roy in Durham. He’s 1-0 against Roy in ACC Tournament play (more on that later)

6-4 plus 6-4 plus 1-0 equals 13-8, not 13-9. Where is the other K loss to Roy? Or should the overall number be 13-8?

Thanks!

It should only be 12-9. K lost every home game from 06-09 (trust me on that one as an 09 graduate) plus 2012. His wins are 04, 05, 10, 11, and 13 for 5-5 in Durham.

So it should be 13-9 counting the one in the ACCT, right? That's exactly what it says in the article. So he gets that right but the error in the article is he says K is 6-4 against Roy in Durham, and as you point out that should be 5-5.

No, still 12-9. 6-4, plus 5-5, plus 1-0 is 12 wins 9 losses. Looking at it another way, the total number of games must be odd since they have played only once in the postseason and twice a year in the regular season
