DURHAM - For a while, it looked as though Duke might fail to secure coach Mike Krzyzewski’s 904th win on the night it celebrated his 903rd career victory.

No. 6-ranked Duke trailed a well-prepared Davidson team by a point at halftime. But the Blue Devils used a strong start to the second half by Mason and Miles Plumlee to win 82-69 on Friday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

In a ceremony following the game, Krzyzewski thanked Tom Butters, the former Duke athletic director, for hiring him and believing in him when he struggled early in his career.

The NCAA selection committee snubbed Davidson despite its 26-7 record, and the Wildcats are headed to the NIT. N.C. State did not make the NIT field.

The X-rays taken of Davidson guard Stephen Curry's injured left ankle were negative, meaning that the All-American has a sprain and not something more serious, such as a torn ligament or a fracture.

Curry rolled the ankle when, during a drive to the basket in the second half of Saturday's victory at Furman, he stepped on the foot of Paladins forward Noah States. The injury initially looked more serious, as Curry lay just off the end of the court for about 5 minutes while the ankle was wrapped in ice.

• Duke's No. 2 

Davidson is going to ruin your bracket

Smart coach, great player, experienced team. What's not to like about Davidson?

Well, after going to the Final Eight, and coming within a 3-pointer of beating Kansas to a spot at the Final Four, everyone's going to be sweet on the Wildcats. That's the first sign to stay away (Rule No. 3: Don't pick a team a year late).
