  As Duke makes up their game at Clemson tonight that was postponed because of their covid -19 issues Mike Krzyzewski is coaching his final game in Clemson South Carolina as the Head Coach Of Duke.

  Why?

  Mike Krzyzewski is retiring after the 2021-2022 season!

  Why?

  Mike Krzyzewski had this to say about his decision!

  You might ask, 'Why are you doing this right now?' Look, this is not about health. Mickie and I, whether we look it or not -- she does -- whether I look healthy ... I am. It's not about COVID or saying, 'Boy, that year was so bad.' It's not about that. It's certainly not about what's going on with college basketball. 'Boy, the game is changing.' All right. I've been in it for 46 years. You think the game has never changed?"

  He later added: "Those aren't the reasons. ... The reason we're doing this is because Mickie and I have decided the journey is going to be over in a year. And we're going to go after it as hard as we possibly can."

  And Jon Scheyer who currently is Mike Krzyzewski’s Associate Head Coach is going to be the Head Coach of Duke beginning in April 2023!

  Duke comes into the game with a record of 19-4 9-3 and in second place in the Atlantic Coast Conference standings because as stated above they lost to Virginia 69-68 on Monday in Durham.

  Why?

  Duke who is ranked 7th in the AP Top 25 poll this squandered a 12 point lead then Virginia found Reece Beekman in the corner who hit a three pointer to give Virginia who unlike Duke isn’t ranked in the AP Top 25 Poll this week the 69-68 win with 1.1 seconds left in regulation.

  And Notre Dame topped Louisville 63-57 on Wednesday night to move in to first place!

  Unlike Duke ,

  Clemson isn’t ranked in the AP Top 25 poll this week though like Duke Clemson lost their previous game on Tuesday though they lost to Duke’s tobacco road rival North Carolina 77-79 in Clemson South Carolina.

  Why?

  Clemson trailed by as many as five points. Then Clemson took four different one-point leads but couldn’t hold on the Tar Heels’ last offensive possession. Following a Brady Manek put-back layup, the Tigers had a shot at the victory, but a Collins 3-pointer fell short.
