PITTSBURGH — In the final road game of Mike Krzyzewski’s 42 seasons as Duke’s coach, the Blue Devils accomplished something they hadn’t managed in more than a decade.
The No. 4 Blue Devils routed Pittsburgh, 86-56, Tuesday night, clinching the No. 1 seed for the ACC tournament and claiming at least a share of first place in the ACC standings for the first time since 2010.
Duke has one regular-season game to play, Krzyzewski’s final home game at Cameron Indoor Stadium against North Carolina on Saturday at 6 p.m. But the team’s first goal of finishing atop the ACC standings has been accomplished no matter the outcome of that game.
