What kind of injury turns out a toe injury as he left the game in pain though he returned to play 37 minutes as his toughness, devotion to the team was never in question but that displayed how committed he is to the team this season. Though, the toe injury could linger for Jeremy Roach something that could spell trouble for Duke’s games verses Ohio State who Duke hosts for ACC/ Big Ten Challenge Wednesday as they tip off ACC play hosting Boston College Wednesday.

Following Duke’s 75-56 loss to Purdue in Phil Knight Legacy in Portland Oregon freshman center Kyle Filpowski had this to say on how today’s loss compared to Kansas on value of playing zone moving forward This one is probably harder. With the Kansas loss, we didn’t play as well. We gave it up and tonight, they [Purdue] just out-toughed us. There aren’t many excuses for this loss and playing for a championship always means more, too“I think it can be very valuable moving forward. Switching up the defense on another team can always disrupt them a little bit, like how Oregon State did to us. I think it can be a useful tool for us down the stretch and in some crunch time moments. I don’t think we’ll come out to start a game in a 2-3 zone, but it helped us at times against Purdue. We have to work on it more and we’ll be a lot better at it, especially when times like this come up again.”
Freshman guard Tyrese Proctor had this to say about the offense late in the game, on the zone defense
“A couple of our shots weren’t the right shots. I think we attacked the paint pretty well, but they were in drops so we were able to pick that apart. It was mainly just the loose balls … we needed to win more 50/50 balls.”“We’re able to take up more space in a zone to try and disrupt them. We dug deep on defense and really emphasized that into the second half. We really wanted to get stops to be able to get our lead back, which we did earlier, but we couldn’t get stops later in the game.
Jon Scheyer who is coaching his inaugural season as Duke’s Head Coach had this to say in his opening statement, on Zach Edey, on switching to zone defense, on sharing the ball
“I thought Dereck [Lively II] really battled him early. He hasn’t had anyone stop him like that and Dereck took the ball a couple of times and made it difficult. He’s a hard guy to prepare for because there’s nobody else like him. I thought the fight was there early from our bigs. We talked about our ball pressure being key because they’re so good at passing it right in and then you have a decision to make … do you double or do you not? When teams have doubled, they get wide open threesso its a tough decision. We were ready to live with some of his buckets. We knew he was going to score some but we gave up threes and that so that really hurt. I thought our bigs really fought him, particularly Dereck at the start … I thought he made life difficult for him.”“It’s something we have to be ready to go to. We spend a lot of time building our habits with our man-to-man defense so we’ve practiced it a couple of times. We’ve had it in our back pocket just in case and I thought our guys did a good job on the fly to pick it up. The thing with them [Purdue] is they move so much … they get really good movement and they screen hard and cut hard. I thought it helped slow them down and our press was good for us also. For key plays … they got the loose balls and the rebounds. “We need some more practice time. Dariq [Whitehead] has been back for nine days now and we’ve had one practice with our full team. Thisis an evolution for us. In those key moments that you mentioned, we get two threes blocked. You have to get shots off and that’s for us to continue to develop and practice and get to know each other. I think for all our guys, you think it’s going to be tough but you don’t know how hard it’s going to be in college. Now we’ve had a few experiences being here … every game we’ve played, we’ve learned something from. You need to make a team like Purdue really work and break them down on defense and that’s the next step we need to get to.
