WINSTON-SALEM, N.
David West Warriors Jersey .C. -- Mike
Krzyzewski may have poured too much emotion into No. 4 Dukes trip to Wake
Forest. The rest of the Blue Devils didnt seem to have enough. The Demon Deacons
upset Duke 82-72 on Wednesday night after Coach K experienced enough dizziness
and light-headedness to force him to kneel during a late timeout and skip his
postgame news conference. Associate head coach Steve Wojciechowski -- who filled
in for him -- says Krzyzewski has not been sick, is in good shape and expects to
make a full recovery. "There was a great emotional investment in the game,"
Wojciechowski said, "and I think maybe the emotion got the better of him." The
rest of the team might not have had that problem. Duke (23-7, 12-5 Atlantic
Coast Conference) was playing for the first time in over a week -- after going
4-1 in an 11-day span before that -- and Wojciechowski says the Blue Devils
simply werent prepared emotionally. After taking a late seven-point lead, Duke
went without a field goal for 5 critical minutes while allowing the Demon
Deacons (16-14, 6-11) to reel off 17 straight points and go up by double
figures. "Im not sure that ... we were as prepared from an emotional
standpoint," Wojciechowski said. "I dont know if our guys had the needed edge to
compete against a Wake Forest team that played their hearts out." Tyler
Cavanaugh scored a career-high 20 points, Travis McKie added 19 in his final
scheduled home game and Codi Miller-McIntyre had 13 for the Demon Deacons. They
followed one of their worst performances of the season -- a home loss to
sub-.500 Boston College -- with one of their best. Their first win over Duke
since 2009 also marked their biggest upset since they knocked off No. 2 Miami
last February. "I couldnt picture a better ending," McKie said. "Everything was
just perfect tonight. The fans were perfect. Me, being my last (home) game,
everything we did was great." Jabari Parker scored 19 points and Rodney Hood
added 16 for the Blue Devils, who missed six straight shots down the stretch and
were just 6 of 27 from 3-point range while falling to 4-5 in ACC road games.
Parkers dunk with just under 6 minutes left gave the Blue Devils their largest
lead, 66-59, and by then, they appeared on their way to their ninth straight win
in the series. Instead, thats when Wake Forest took command. "I knew we were
going to win -- it was just one of those feelings that you get down the
stretch," Miller-McIntyre said. "You could see it in all of my teammates eyes,
that they werent ready to fall over." They didnt. After Devin Thomas and McKie
hit two free throws each, Cavanaugh -- a sophomore backup forward -- became
unstoppable. His left-handed jumper over Hood, who had four fouls, with 3 1/2
minutes left gave the Demon Deacons the lead for good at 67-66. After
Miller-McIntyre hit a pretty crossover layup, Cavanaugh followed by sticking
back Thomas miss to make it 71-66 with 2 1/2 minutes left. Coron Williams ended
the run with a layup that was goaltended by Parker and made it 76-66 with 1:08
left. At the other end, Duke couldnt do anything right. A key 3-point attempt by
Rasheed Sulaimon went halfway down before rimming out -- one of five 3-point
attempts the Blue Devils missed during that untimely cold spell. And point guard
Quinn Cook had a layup slammed hard off the backboard by Thomas. "All five guys
were on the same page today," Thomas said. "We didnt let them get the 3s,
because we know they live and die with the 3-ball." Sulaimon finished with 14
points for Duke, which had plenty of built-in excuses for perhaps taking the
Demon Deacons lightly. Maybe they were rusty after not playing since a Feb. 25
rout of Virginia Tech. Maybe they were looking ahead to exacting revenge from
North Carolina on Saturday night. Maybe they were overconfident after beating
Wake Forest by 20 points last month at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Or maybe the
Demon Deacons simply arent as bad as their record might indicate. "Heart. We
played with heart," Cavanaugh said. "We know we can play with anyone." Williams
and Arnaud William Adala Moto finished with 12 points each for Wake Forest,
which led for all but about 3 minutes of the first half after holding Duke to
one field goal in the first 7 1/2 minutes. They went up by eight points and
responded to their only deficit of the half by reeling off the final seven
points. Miller-McIntyres steal and layup just before the buzzer put the Demon
Deacons up 36-33 -- just Dukes second halftime deficit of the season and first
since the loss at Syracuse. "I thought they outfought us," Wojciechowski said.
"This time of year, if youre not tough and youre not together for 40 minutes, it
can be some very hard lessons."
