A matchup of the winningest Division I basketball coaches was definitely one-sided. Seventh-ranked Duke and Mike Krzyzewski won its fourth NIT Season Tip-Off with a 68-59 victory over 13th-ranked Connecticut and Jim Calhoun behind tournament MVP Jon Scheyer's 19 points.
That's Coach K's 839th career victory, good for fourth on the all-time list. UConn's Calhoun holds at 809 victories, good for sixth place.
Duke has won this event in 1985, 2000 and 2005 as well as this year.
