It's hard to picture U.S. men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski as a party animal staggering around the streets of London. But that's exactly how he jokingly described himself after the U.S. beat Argentina by 26 points on Friday night to advance to the gold medal game. Krzyzewski took exception to a question from a reporter asking if he had to do any coaching, given he had such a talented roster. "Absolutely none," he deadpanned. "I'm out every night with my family, drunk as a skunk. Wait till you see me tonight. I'll get in at six and you all are invited to come out with me." Krzyzewski is famous for his obsessive preparation, so the only headache he'll have on Saturday likely will be the one caused by planning for the Sunday gold medal final against Spain. — Jon Krawczynski — Twitter http://twitter.com/APKrawczynski EDITOR'S NOTE — "Eyes on London" shows you the Olympics through the eyes of Associated Press journalists across the 2012 Olympic city and around the world.
