Coach K now holds the record of most NCAA tournament wins surpassing Dean Smith after beating Mississipi State over the weekend. But there is an asterisk on this record, since Coach K coached during the expanded tourney (6 games vs 4 games).
Nevertheless, it's an amazing number of wins! Some fans can argue that there should be an asterisk here as well because "Duke gets all the calls". ACC-homer Billy Packer was the latest to utter the "Duke gets all the calls" line.

And speaking of Coach K, he is now in every other TV commercial airing during the NCAA games. From the serious and paternal American Express to the "jovial" AllState. I think there's a couple more but I can't recall. That surely helps recruiting even more, allowing Duke to "select" rather than "recruit"...
