Nothing would please the national media pundits more than a happily-ever-after ending for Mike Krzyzewski in his final season at Duke, but Vegas is predicting the legendary coach’s career will end Thursday night at the hands of Texas Tech.

Duke entered the tournament as a two-seed, winning the ACC regular-season championship before losing in the conference tournament final against Virginia Tech.
