Following 7th ranked Duke’s 69-64 loss to 6th ranked Kansas in State Farm Champions Classic Tuesday in Indianapolis following Jon Scheyer’s inaugural regular season loss as Head Coach of Duke freshman Kyle Filipowski who was 6-18 on field goals 1-6 from 3 point range to go along with 14 rebounds 1 assists, 17 points had this to say about being inaugural freshman to begin career with 3 straight double doubles. “I mean, that’s pretty cool … to start my career at Duke off. Obviously that doesn’t matter much to me right now after the game ending the way that it did. But just got to keep doing what I do, stay focused on the team getting the wins down the road. And learn from that.” Junior guard Jeremy Roach had this to say about Kansas defense affected Duke’s game plan!
We knew they were a great defensive team. They ran at the ball a lot. They helped. They plug off the ball, we knew that was a factor coming in, but we just want to be strong with the ball. They got their hands on a couple of them, turned the ball over, just kind of careless with the ball. I think they just did a great job on defense, just getting hands on balls. Just doing what they needed to do to get the win.”
Following 7th ranked Duke 69-64 loss to 6th ranked Kansas in State Farm Champions Classic Tuesday in Indianapolis Jon Scheyer who lost inaugural regular season game as Head Coach Of Duke had this to say!
On the message to the team after a back-and-forth game: “Yeah, we actually before the game said it’s going to be a game of runs, and it’s whoever handles the adversity better is going to win. They did that down the stretch. I thought we had a chance there to extend that lead, and they’re tough. They’re not going to go away. It’s those pivotal moments into a TV timeout where ‘what shot are we getting’ or we have to work a little bit harder, we have to make them work on defense. I thought they made us work harder on defense than we made them work. And that was a big key to tonight’s game. I thought just the emotions for our young guys, the first game goes to double overtime, so we went out there three times to warm up and first time playing a game outside of Cameron. There’s a lot of different emotions that you feel. And I think our guys right now, they know we can be a lot better.” On whether the game was a good learning experience for the team: “There’s no question that’s the best form of learning. Just being in these moments, there’s no way to simulate it. That doesn’t mean I’m happy or I’m enjoying this loss by any means. You have to hate it and learn from it, grow from it. But playing in the Champions Classic every year, of course you want to come away winning, but you probably learn more when you lose. Even if we won that game, we would’ve won not being at our best with the way we took care of the ball and some of the plays we can make and do a better job of. But absolutely playing in this makes you better as a team and as a program.”

As a Special Assistant, Assistant Coach, Associate Head Coach at Duke to now retired Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski Jon Scheyer helped spark the Blue Devils to two ACC championships and the 2010 NCAA title as a player from 2007-10, has helped Duke compile a 219-62 (.779) record, a national championship (2015), two Final Fours (2015, 2022) and two ACC Tournament crowns (2017, 2019) during his time as an assistant or associate head coach.He helped mentor Tyus Jones in Duke’s 2015 national title season, as the Blue Devils finished the year ranked third nationally in adjusted offensive efficiency. Jones was named the Final Four Most Outstanding Player in Indianapolis and was a first-round pick in the 2015 NBA Draft after just one college season.
In 2017, Jon Scheyer helped mold Luke Kennard into a consensus All-American after a breakout sophomore season that saw him rank second in the ACC in scoring and three-point field goal percentage. He also helped develop Frank Jackson into one of the most dynamic young guards in the country during the 2016-17 campaign.
Luke Kennard and Frank Jackson were selected 12th and 31st overall, respectively, in the 2017 NBA Draft.
After Grayson Allen finished his career in 2018 as the 12th-leading scorer in Duke history with 1,996 points, he was drafted in the first round by the Utah Jazz. Allen joined Scheyer as two of just five Blue Devils in history with 1,900 or more points, 400 or more rebounds and 400 or more assists (Grant Hill, Danny Ferry, Johnny Dawkins).
The 2019 campaign saw Tyus’ brother Tre enjoy a breakout year as a freshman by setting the program’s single-season record for assist-to-turnover ratio (3.62), while establishing himself as one of the nation’s premier defensive players. Jones’ classmate, RJ Barrett, finished his remarkable freshman season at Duke as a consensus first-team All-American, the USA Today National Player of the Year, and the overall No. 3 selection in the NBA Draft.
R.J. Barrett broke a myriad of program and ACC records, including both the Duke and conference freshman scoring record with 860 points. His 860 points were surpassed on the program’s single-season scoring list by only J.J. Redick’s 964 points as a senior in 2006. Barrett averaged 22.6 points and was the only major conference player in 2018-19 to score 13+ points in every game of the season.
Under Jon Scheyer’s guidance, Tre Jones parlayed his phenomenal freshman season into a decorated sophomore campaign that ended with him as the 2020 ACC Player of the Year, the ACC Defensive Player of the Year, and an All-American. After two seasons as the starting point guard, Jones declared for the NBA Draft, leaving Duke as the program’s career record-holder in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.88) and ranking third in assists per game (5.8).
Throughout the 2021-22 season, Jon Scheyer worked closely with ACC Freshman of the Year and consensus second-team All-American Paolo Banchero. He also helped guide second-team All-ACC pick Wendell Moore Jr., into performing as one of the nation's most complete players. Moore capped his season winning the Julius Erving Award as the nation's best small forward.
Paolo Banchero capped his collegiate career as the overall No. 1 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic, one of a record five Blue Devils drafted in 2022, including four in the first round. In Jon Scheyer’s time at Duke, he has helped mentor 26 Blue Devils to be drafted – 20 being first round selections.
