There are three games left in the regular season for Duke: Syracuse, Pitt and UNC. All three have particular significant for Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski as his spectacular career winds down. Syracuse means his buddy Jim Boeheim. Pitt means his former player and assistant Jeff Capel. And UNC is UNC.
The festivities for the Syracuse game started early when Coach K called into Boeheim’s radio show as “Mike from Durham.” Hilarity ensued, or as close as it was going to get anyway. It was a fun moment.
It hasn’t been quite the same in Durham, but when Duke plays at Syracuse, it’s become a huge deal.
