No. 800 for Coach K is a close shave

RALEIGH, N.C. -- DeMarcus Nelson's two free throws with 1:01 remaining lifted No. 7 Duke past North Carolina State 87-86 on Saturday and gave Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski his 800th career victory.

Nelson and Jon Scheyer both scored 19 points for the Blue Devils (25-3, 12-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who used a game-closing 14- 5 run to take their first -- and only -- lead of the half and snap a two-game road losing streak.

Ben McCauley scored 19 points for N.C. State (15-14, 4-11), and his free throw with 1:11 remaining put the Wolfpack up 86-85. He fouled Nelson 10 seconds later, and the Duke captain knocked down both free throws.

Krzyzewski is the sixth Division I men's coach to reach the 800- win milestone. Coach K did it in his 1,064th game -- only Adolph Rupp and Dean Smith did it in fewer games -- and is 800-264 in his 33rd season.
