Tuesday's Top 25 College Men's Basketball Capsules

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) - Mike Krzyzewski passed Bob Knight, then spent some special time with his former coach. The man known simply as "Coach K" became Division I's winningest coach when No. 6 Duke beat Michigan State 74-69 on Tuesday night in the State Farm Champions Classic.

The Blue Devils (3-0) gave Krzyzewski his 903rd win, breaking the tie with Knight, Krzyzewski's college coach at Army and his mentor throughout his professional career.

Junior guard Andre Dawkins had 26 points for Duke, which took control with a 20-1 run that gave the Blue Devils a 61-41 lead with 9:17 to play. Then it was just a matter of counting down the minutes until the celebration could get under way.

With Knight sitting across the court at the ESPN broadcast table, and with several former players in the stands - many able to attend because of the ongoing NBA lockout - Krzyzewski moved to the top of the list in front of a sellout crowd of 19,979 at Madison Square Garden.

Krzyzewski went right across the court and embraced Knight when the game ended.
