Duke coach mike krzyzewski illness

AP — Seemingly little went to plan for ninth-ranked Duke after halftime Tuesday, from being without its retiring Hall of Fame coach to blowing a huge lead in its famously rowdy arena. With Wake Forest having only a desperate final chance, Damari Monsanto took the inbounds pass and heaved a one-handed throw to the far end that appeared to be a bit late.

The ball hit the glass then bounced off the rim before falling away, nearly sucking the air out of the famously rowdy Cameron Indoor Stadium. Instead, the Blue Devils were able to celebrate, then Scheyer said Krzyzewski addressed the team afterward.

He added that he received IV treatment after returning to the locker room.

Krzyzewski was dealing with an apparent issue roughly midway through the first half, holding his forehead while Scheyer and fellow associate head coach Chris Carrawell seemed to be checking on him from either side on the bench. During a later timeout, trainer Jose Fonseca checked on Krzyzewski both at the beginning and the end of the stoppage.

By the end of the first half, Krzyzewski appeared to be fine, standing up to applaud or shout instructions — only to not return after the halftime horn. But he nor the school offered additional details on Coach K, who turned 75 years old on Sunday.

ESPN's Jeff Goodman reported Krzyzewski was suffering from extremely high blood pressure, and he was advised to remain overnight at Duke University Hospital.

Officials immediately signaled for a replay review to see if Williams had touched the ball on the rim. Officials finally signaled that the basket counted, sending a frenzied crowd erupting in a tension-releasing roar — only to nearly see Monsanto hit a shot that would have surely led to yet another review had it gone in. Probably not here, you know how it goes.

Williams had 16 points and 10 rebounds for Duke, while Wendell Moore Jr. Jake LaRavia had 19 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Demon Deacons, who lost for the 23rd straight time at Cameron. Williams, the ACC scoring and assists leader, finished with 18 points after being limited to fewer than 8 minutes due to three first-half fouls.
