Duke basketball fans aren’t having much fun anymore as Mike Krzyzewski’s final season as the head coach of the Blue Devils is getting close to ending.
What was supposed to be a final shot at a ACC Tournament Championship for Mike Krzyzewski turned into an absolute disaster for the legendary Duke basketball coach. The Blue Devils weren’t able to keep up with the Virginia Tech Hokies and are now the source of joy for many Duke haters online.
This is a game that Coach K and Duke probably could have won, but they ended up getting beaten by 15 points. The game was close at halftime with Virginia Tech holding a 42-39 lead over the Blue Devils, but the Hokies were able to run away with things in the second half.
Virginia Tech ended up beating Duke 82-67.
Following Duke’s embarrassing loss to the Hokies, the folks on Twitter are definitely enjoying seeing the Blue Devils come up short.

The loss hands Krzyzewski yet another loss in a final coaching moment for him. He lost in his last home game as the North Carolina Tar Heels spoiled his farewell game at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Now he’s headed out of the ACC Tournament for the last time with a loss.

The Blue Devils ended up being outmatched in the second half of this game. Virginia Tech apparently was too much for Coach K’s final Duke team and things ended poorly for the Blue Devils because of that.

The Hokies winning was shocking and it sets up some intriguing scenarios as teams try to make the NCAA Tournament. Virginia Tech is clearly in now. It’ll be interesting to see how the rest of the bracket shapes up.
I can’t believe I’m about to say this:
