Coach Mike Krzyzewski’s farewell tour will now feature a historical finish in the regular season thanks to a 86-56 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
For the first time since 2010, the Blue Devils will do no worse than tying for first place in the ACC regular season standings, with the outcome of the monumental Saturday‘s Tobacco Road rivalry game against North Carolina determining if they take No. 1 outright.
If Duke (26–4, 16–3 ACC) comes out as the better blue and beats the Tar Heels, it will mark the first time since 2006 the program took first place outright.
