Mike Krzyzewski has won a lot NCAA tournament games in the history of men's basketball, however that doesn’t mean he and the Duke Blue Devils aren't immune to an early exit. It’s the second time in three seasons and fifth time ever that Mike Krzyzewski and his team lost in the opening game. 14th-seeded Mercer took out his third-seeded Blue Devils 78-71 Friday. They then lost to 15th-seeded Lehigh in 2012. These first-round upsets happened in North Carolina, while the Lehigh loss came in Greensboro and the Mercer loss was in Raleigh.
