Just when it looked like the 1,000 wins party for Mike Krzyzewski was off, Duke woke up from its sleepwalk.
Trailing 61-51 with about 8:30 remaining in the game, the Blue Devils found a level of toughness that had been missing all game.
And by the time the clock hit zero inside Madison Square Garden, the Blue Devils had gutted out a 77-68 victory over St. John’s, giving their legendary coach his 1,000th win in his 40th year of coaching.
