DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Duke is marking Mike Krzyzewski’s climb up the career coaching victories list with a tote board behind one of the baskets.

For one night anyway, Coach K didn’t have to worry about adding to that total.

The Blue Devils opened practice Friday night with their “Countdown to Craziness,” and one of the highlights was the intrasquad scrimmage that marked the debuts for freshmen Austin Rivers, Quinn Cook and Marshall Plumlee in front of the Cameron Crazies.

Seth Curry scored 28 points to lead the Blue team past the White 56-53 in a scrimmage that delighted the fans but, of course, had no impact on Krzyzewski’s pursuit of Bob Knight on the Division I men’s career coaching list.
