If Gary Trent Jr. couldn’t make it through the game without barfing in a bucket on the Duke bench, imagine how Mike Krzyzewski must be feeling. For the second time in three seasons, the Duke coach missed a game due to illness, this time Saturday’s 89-71 win over Wake Forest, as the flu outbreak that’s tearing through the country takes its toll here.
Krzyzewski woke up ill Saturday, decided he didn’t want to get his team sick and decided to stay away, once again turning things over to associate head coach Jeff Capel in what has become a familiar routine for the Blue Devils in recent years.
