Following Jon Scheyer picking up his inaugural win at Madison Square Garden home of NBA’s New York Knicks as Head Coach of Duke following Duke’s 72-64 win over Iowa in Jimmy V Classic Jon Scheyer had this to say in his opening statement, on defense being the backbone of this team. On what its like walking into Madison Square Garden as Duke’s Head Coach Great for us. What an honor to be back in the Garden. This has been a special place for us to play over the years, and we’re going to try and come back here like we’ve done in our program’s history. This is a special spot to play in the Jimmy V Classic, year one, that means a lot to us. I’ve been fortunate, being along Coach K a long time, to know the important of the Jimmy V Foundation and the amazing work they’ve done. So, for us, it’s an honor. We’ve been through a really tough stretch the last couple of weeks, and I’m proud of our guys, just for how they’ve pushed through and beat a really good Iowa team. [Mark Mitchell] and [Jeremy Roach] to my right and left, big time tonight. Mark’s defense on [Kris] Murray, the way he drove the ball, rebounded, it was a big-time game. And Jeremy was really in control of our team from beginning to end. Scoring, playmaking, leading. Actually, we were just talking about Jeremy and getting after Mark to attack the basket, and he did. So, I know you’re going to ask these guys any questions, I’m happy to answer any questions afterwards. But proud of the game, proud of the team and a lot of respect for Iowa and who they are and what they’re capable of doing. “It’s exciting. Because for this young of a group, and a young team in terms of having that experience playing together, that’s what it comes down to in March. You need to get stops. I think our offense will continue to develop through the course of the season. We’ve had not much practice time so there’s some possessions where giving away the ball, whether it be a tough shot we take or turnovers tonight were pretty good, but that’s something that I’m really looking forward to – the practice time, building our offense. But our defense is the base of who we are. To me, when I found out that I was going to be the head coach at Duke, the two things I always connect to Duke Basketball is playing defense and sharing the ball. And we’ll continue to emphasize that. But just proud of our effort. Proud of the buy-in our guys have had, and I think we still have a lot of room to grow.”“Yeah, the Garden is special. It’s a special place and one of my guys told me earlier that between playing and coaching here at Duke, I’ve been here 24 times. I actually couldn’t believe that. We’ve been here a lot through the years, but it’s a different experience walking out and just the buzz and environment – we’ve never had an environment here that’s not as good as it gets for college basketball. The Garden is a special place, and I think it’s a privilege to play here and you want to give it everything you have and I thought we did that tonight.”
Though,
Jon Scheyer who picked up his inaugural win as Head Coach of Duke at Madison Square Garden home of the NBA’s New York Knicks in Jimmy V Classic verses Iowa Tuesday wasn’t the only one to talk about Duke’s 74-62 win over Iowa as freshman Mark Mitchell, junior Jeremy Roach did as well. Mark Mitchell talked about his defensive approach against Kris Murray, Jeremy Roach’s leadership by saying I mean, I think we just had a game plan to come in and try to stop him. We knew he’s a talented player, I tried to keep him off the glass as much as we could, I knew he averages a lot of offensive rebounds. We just tried to defend him as a team, not let him get any easy looks and just pressure him all night and make it hard for him.Yeah, he’s our captain. He keeps us together. He’s been here. A lot of us, you know, it’s our first time playing in the Garden, he’s played all these big-time events, so he keeps us together. He keeps us as one, and that’s what a captain does. Jeremy Roach talked about when he realized he was locked in tonight on how better the freshman can get as the season progresses by saying “I probably knew when I was in rhythm when I hit my first three. I mean, when you see your first couple of shots go in, you know you’re kind of in a rhythm. Had the floater to begin the game and then the three, so I kind of knew I was going. But I didn’t want to be ultra-aggressive, still wanted to get my teammates involved, stuff like that. And then be smart on the offensive end, just lead like I’ve been saying “They’ve came in every day to work. They’re a sponge, they want to learn as much as they can. They don’t have any egos, nobody is mad about anything, so that’s really the biggest thing about the freshmen. And then just them on the court growing, I mean, it’s early for them. The freshmen, they go through stuff. They’ve got to go through trials and tribulations, but I feel like they’re right on. Like Coach says, he wants us to transform, and I think they’re doing just that. As you see, we have so many different talented guys who can step up, I mean obviously Flip (Kyle Filipowski), Mark (Mitchell) tonight, Dereck (Lively II), Dariq (Whitehad) had a good game tonight, so I mean it’s just multiple guys who can come in as a freshmen and give us a good boost."
