DURHAM, N.C. — Mike Krzyzewski has been making the sacred secular pilgrimage for more than 50 years, starting when he was a junior at West Point, the Black Knights fighting Notre Dame to the final minute of the NIT’s opening round. He’s been back plenty as a coach, too, notably the day in January 2015 when he won his 1,000th game.
“It’s every player’s dream to play at Madison Square Garden,” Krzyzewski said the other night, “and it’s every coach’s dream to coach there. It’s still a thrill for me.”
So, yes, the plan on Wednesday was for the Duke University Blue Devils to practice at Cameron Indoor Stadium, then hop a flight for New York, where on Thursday they will bring their 10-1 record and their No.
