Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski is retiring. He鈥檚 won more games than anyone else, and his final home game is Saturday against North Carolina. Some tickets are selling for as much as $70,000. That's why Duke students camped outside the arena over the last two months, hoping to secure one of the few seats reserved for them.

Krzyzewski, who is retiring after this season, wasn鈥檛 with the team as it returned from the locker room after halftime. The team鈥檚 official Twitter account later posted Krzyzewski was 鈥渘ot feeling well鈥� and wouldn鈥檛 return.

Hunter Tyson鈥檚 layup with 3:19 remaining gave Clemson a two-point lead late. But Duke closed the game on an 8-4 run 鈥� four of those points by Paolo Banchero.

No. 4 North Carolina State won its eighth straight game, topping Virginia Tech 51-45 and limiting the Hokies to 29.3% shooting from the floor. N.C. State (18-2, 9-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) was powered by Jakia Brown-Turner, who scored 10 of her 14 points in the first quarter.

Duke hiring Mike Elko makes it look like the Blue Devils are leaning into blue-collar, defensive-minded football. But they鈥檙e also hiring a man with an Ivy League degree, extensive experience of coaching at schools similar to Duke and someone who has aspirations for the team that are above average.

Citing the spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, Duke said all classes will be held remotely through Jan. 8. The Atlantic Coast Conference is changing its rescheduling policy to avoid assigning forfeits for teams unable to play.

Elko, 44, was most recently the defensive coordinator at Texas A&M. He succeeds David Cutcliffe, who Duke mutually parted ways with on Nov. 28.

David Cutcliffe won鈥檛 return for a 15th season as Duke鈥檚 coach after the school announced a 鈥渕utual agreement for separation鈥� on Sunday following the Blue Devils鈥� winless Atlantic Coast Conference record.

Elissa Cunane scored 20 points, making eight of her nine shots from the field, to help No. 5 N.C. State run past second-ranked Maryland 78-60 at the Baha Mar Hoops Pink Flamingo Championship tournament.

The 2021-22 women's college basketball season tips off on Tuesday. N.C. State is the favorite in the ACC again, while Duke, North Carolina and N.C. Central fight for wins and respect.
