“The turning point for Duke was when Coach K used his forces to heal his injured players”: NBA Twitter reacts as the Blue Devils defeat Michigan State to advance to the Sweet 16

With Duke defeating Michigan State 85-76 in the 2^nd round of the NCAA March Madness, Coach K grabbed his 1,200^th career win.

Yesterday night was the last time we saw a Coach K-Tom Izzo clash, and the battle couldn’t have been any more gripping. The #2 Duke Blue Devils took on the #7 Michigan State Spartans at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena for the 2^nd round clash of the NCAA March Madness battle.

A well-contested battle that was exciting right from tip-off ended with Paolo Banchero and co. grabbing a huge 85-76 win over Izzo’s boys. With this victory, the Blue Devils not only enter the Sweet 16 but also help Coach Mike Krzyzewski achieve his 1,200^th career win and 99^th NCAA tournament win (both are the most by any coach).
