Duke University defeated Michigan State tonight, 74-69, to break the NCAA men’s basketball record for Coach K, passing Bobby Knight with which he was tied going into the game. Michigan State didn’t make it easy for the Dukies, whittling away the twenty point lead Duke had put up, 61-41, with a 28-13 run down the stretch.
From this point on, each win sets the new record. I don’t know who, but someday someone will likely break Coach K’s record, whatever he ends up with.
For the moment though…
Pretty amazing.
so, who is #3?
# 3 would be Dean Smith of North Carolina and 4 is Adolph Rupp of Kentucky. The totals of both escape me for the moment.
