The Blue Devils coach eclipsed a mark first set in the 1942-43 season.
It’s anything but easy to replace a legend, but Jon Scheyer is acquitting himself well in his first season as Duke men’s basketball team.
Scheyer took over for his famous mentor, Mike Krzyzewski, after a remarkable 42-year tenure which included 1,129 victories and five national championships.
Now, Scheyer is under the microscope at the helm of one of the most storied programs in college basketball. But if the early returns are any indication, the Blue Devils program is in good hands for the long haul.

Haas driver Kevin Magnussen highlighted how reliable the VF-23 was this week in Bahrain
Pre-season testing ahead of the 2023 Formula 1 season is now complete, and all ten teams are pouring through mountains of data accumulated over three days at Bahrain International Circuit. While lap times are to be taken with a grain of salt, as teams are using different fuel loads, tyre compounds, and running different programs, reliability is perhaps the biggest lesson teams can learn during testing.
Avalanche defenseman Kurtis MacDermid entered protocol on late Saturday night after losing a heavyweight NHL tilt to Milan Lucic. The Flames winger put him out.
MacDermid, 28, stands 6-foot-5, 233 pounds. He rarely, if ever, ends up on the losing end of fights.
Lucic, 34, stands 6-foot-3, 240 pounds. He scraps quite a bit for someone at his position and typically comes out victorious as well. At the very least, the Vancouver-native always holds his own.
Neither MacDermid nor Lucic are strangers.
In fact, they went at it in Colorado last year.
The Padres are finalizing an 11-year, $350 million extension with star third baseman Manny Machado, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
Injuries and poor form slowed Rashford between 2021 and 2022. Now he’s the world’s most in-form player.
The free-spending Padres reportedly are close to a long-term agreement with their star third baseman.
The Padres and Manny Machado are close to agreement on a massive contract extension that will keep the superstar third baseman in mustard and brown for the foreseeable future.
The parties are finalizing an 11-year pact worth $350 million, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported Sunday morning.
Earlier this month, Machado publicly stated his intention to exercise an opt-out clause in his contract to become a free agent after the season.
Montreat College baseball won its series at Bluefield University this weekend, but it should have had the chance at the sweep. Instead, an ump show may have cost the Cavaliers their seventh win of the season.
Montreat, a a private, Christian college in North Carolina, was founded in 1916 and has less than 1,000 students. 45 of them play baseball, and were screwed out of a game-tying home run on Friday.

For whatever reason, perhaps due to weather, the Cavaliers played a three-game series on only Thursday and Friday this week.
The Philadelphia center made an unlikely shot, but it came a fraction of a second too late to force overtime against the Celtics.
Joel Embiid is enjoying the best season of his NBA career, and he punctuated it with a riveting highlight Saturday night.
Unfortunately for Embiid and the 76ers, it didn’t count.
With 1.3 seconds left in a hard-fought game between Philadelphia and the visiting Celtics, Embiid took an inbound pass and launched a 70-foot heave at the basket from inside the three-point line in the backcourt.
Florida State basketball is not having the season that it might have hoped, but the Seminoles have no problem playing the spoiler. That was certainly the case on Saturday afternoon!
No. 13 Miami hosted their in-state, ACC foes in Coral Gables and jumped out to a big lead at halftime. The Hurricanes were up big at the break.
How bout that first half?!

But then the script was flipped.
On Saturday night against Virginia Tech, the 35-year-old Jon Scheyer got his 21st win, accomplishing something Hall of Famer Mike Krzyzewski didn’t.
