Duke Defeats Indiana To Give Coach K His 759th Career Victory

Nov 29, 2006 1:32 AM

Duke's young team is still trying to figure out how to play offense. The Blue Devils are fortunate the defense is coming along a little quicker.

DeMarcus Nelson scored 19 points Tuesday night as No. 11 Duke held on to beat Indiana 54-51 in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge.

It was the fewest points scored by the Blue Devils in a win since taking a 47-46 victory over Georgia Tech on Feb. 3, 1982, Mike Krzyzewski's second season in Durham. Still, the Blue Devils did enough to give their coach his 759th career victory, tying him with Western Kentucky's Ed Diddle for 10th on the all-time list.
