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 2nd 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 1,200th career win and 99th NCAA tournament win (both are the most by any coach).
