Mike Krzyzewski returns to first Duke game since retirement as Blue Devils narrowly beat Notre Dame

For the first time since he retired last year, Mike Krzyzewski returned to Cameron Indoor Stadium on Tuesday night.

Krzyzewski and his wife, Mickie, were on hand to watch as Duke narrowly beat out Notre Dame 68-64 on Tuesday night at “Coach K Court” in Durham, North Carolina. He was on hand to honor his former assistant and longtime Notre Dame coach Mike Brey, who is stepping away from the Fighting Irish at the end of the season.

“It’s special for me. I’ve been in so many battles and games here with him right next to me,” Duke coach Jon Scheyer, another former Krzyzewski assistant, said after the win, via WFMY’s Brian Hall.
