Greenville, S.C. — Mike Krzyzewski got the best of Tom Izzo often over the years, and the Duke coach added one more win to the rivalry on Sunday as Duke sent Michigan State home from the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the Sweet 16.
No. 2 Duke used a 20-6 run in the final five minutes to knock off No. 7 Michigan State, 85-76, at Bon Secours Wellness Arena, advancing to next weekend’s Sweet 16 in San Francisco against the Texas Tech-Notre Dame winner.
Michigan State held a 70-65 lead with 5:10 to play before the Blue Devils ripped off the decisive run to send the Spartans home and drop Izzo’s record against Krzyzewski to 3-13 overall and 2-4 in the NCAA Tournament.
