SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski's farewell tour makes a stop in San Francisco.
Krzyzewski's Duke Blue Devils had to win in the second round of the NCAA Tournament for a trip to the Sweet 16 for the West Region's semifinal at Chase Center.
The 2-seeded Blue Devils did after a 85-76 win over 7-seed Michigan State Spartans on Sunday in Greenville, S.C.
Duke will face 3-seeded Texas Tech on Thursday in what can potentially be Krzyzewski's final game -- after the legendary coach announced last summer that his 42nd season at Duke will be his last.
A significant milestone could be accomplished in San Francisco should the Blue Devils beat Texas Tech:
Krzyzewski could win his 100th NCAA Tournament game in a record 36th appearance, according to Duke. His 99 wins is already the most all time in men's tournament history.
Krzyzewski's 26th appearance in the Sweet 16 extends his all-time record among coaches, the school said.
As of Sunday night, the cheapest ticket to witness Krzyzewski's potential final game this Thursday is $300, according to Chase Center's ticket partner Ticketmaster.
