Duke’s Core of 8 Reaches the Round of 8

nytimes.com - HOUSTON — For the last two months, Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski has issued his team a daily reminder. Eight is enough, he tells the Blue Devils.

That is how many scholarship players they have, and that is who they will win with — have won with.

“We truly do believe it,” forward Amile Jefferson said after top-seeded Duke outlasted No. 5 Utah, 63-57, on Friday in a South Regional semifinal, the Blue Devils’ 15th victory in 16 games since Krzyzewski scrawled the numeral 8 on a board inside the team’s locker room at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
