• With a win Sunday, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski would extend his own NCAA record for Sweet 16 appearances by a coach to 24. • Coach K has won a record 91 NCAA Tournament games and his .771 tourney winning percentage is the second-best in history. • Duke has been a top-three seed an NCAA-best 28 times since 1985, four more than the closest team (Kansas, 24).
THE OPENING TIP
• Duke will face South Carolina for the first time in the NCAA Tournament - and first time overall since 2001 - on Sunday with a Sweet 16 berth on the line.
