Duke 101-91, FINAL: Forget about the fact that Mike Krzyzewski, in a Roy Williams-like state, ripped off his sports coat in the second half, or that he urged the crowd to be loud even before the game started. If you only watched the last minute of Duke's 101-91 win, you would have seen how this game was different for Krzyzewski. With Jon Scheyer at the line, Krzyzewski substituted for Gerald Henderson to give Henderson, who finished with a career-high 35 points on 11-of-15 shooting, the standing ovation he deserved. Seconds later, the Cameron Crazies serenaded Scheyer, who scored a career-high 30 points. Krzyzewski greeted the two the same way: with gigantic bear hugs. After the game, the Crazies' appreciation for Henderson was just as clear. As he was interviewed on the floor, they chanted "One more year!" at him, a cheer we're sure to hear again during Duke's last home game against Florida State.
