The Duke Blue Devils will be getting their general back this weekend when Mike Krzyzewski returns to the bench after recovering from back surgery he had on January 6th.  The announcement was made with a simple tweet that said “Saturday.”

During Krzyzewski’s absence, Duke struggled – losing 3 of their 7 games under the leadership of assistant head coach Jeff Capel.  His return will be welcomed by the team and fans, as the Devils look to notch another win ahead of next week’s highly anticipated match-up against UNC.
