As Duke Knocked Off Wake Forest 75-73 Tuesday In Durham Duke Improved To 11-0 Inside Cameron Indoor Stadium As Jon Scheyer Is Coaching His Inaugural Season As Duke Head Coach
Duke University's Cameron Indoor Stadium, the crown jewel of college basketball's classic venues, has become one of the most formidable environments for visiting teams. The Blue Devils have called the iconic venue home for 80 years and have won nearly 85 percent of the games on its hallowed hardwood.
More than a few of those victories have been influenced by the electric atmosphere within its Gothic halls.
Legend has it that it all began with a book of matches, which for a town and a school founded on local tobacco fortunes, seems a promising way to start.
It was on the cover of a book of matches that Eddie Cameron and Wallace Wade first sketched out the plan for Duke's Indoor Stadium in 1935. The story may be a myth (the matchbook has never been found), but then the Indoor Stadium that emerged from those first scribblings lends itself to the propagation of myths.
For more than seven decades, spectators, players and coaches have understood the unique magic of the Indoor Stadium. The building was dedicated to longtime Duke Athletic Director and basketball coach Eddie Cameron, a legend in his own right, on January 22, 1972. An unranked Duke team upset then third-ranked North Carolina, 76-74, after Robby West drove the length of the court to hit a pull-up jumper to win the game.
It's the intimacy of the arena, the unique seating arrangement that puts the wildest fans right down on the floor with the players. It's the legends that were made there, the feeling of history being made with every game. And it's something more than either of these, something indescribable that comes from the building itself. No one who has experienced it will ever forget it.
The Building
Whether or not the matchbook story is true, it is a fact that the official architectural plans for the Stadium were drawn up by the Philadelphia firm of Horace Trumbauer, Architect. Trumbauer was a self-made man, a poor boy who left school at 16 to apprentice himself as a draftsman to a local architect. In 1890, at the age of 22, he opened his own office and quickly rose to prominence in the Northeast. His designs for the mansions and estates of wealthy northeastern magnates brought him to the attention of James Buchanan Duke, North Carolina tobacco baron. Duke commissioned the architect to design his New York town home during the early part of the century.
In 1924, when Duke created the $40 million Duke Endowment that turned Trinity College into Duke University, he called on Trumbauer to design the new University Campus.
In recent years it has come to light that the plans for the campus, as well as designs for later buildings including the stadium, were drawn up not by Trumbauer himself (although his name appeared on all the blueprints) but by his chief designer, Julian Abele, one of the nation's first black architects. Abele, a brilliant architecture student at the University of Pennsylvania, was brought to Trumbauer's attention shortly after his graduation in 1902. Trumbauer was so impressed with Abele's talents that he not only hired him but paid his way through the prestigious Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. Abele stands as the first African-American ever to graduate from the school.
The original design for the Indoor Stadium was significantly less grand than the one from which the building was actually constructed. That first plan called for 5,000 basketball "sittings," and even that number was considered extravagant, at least by Trumbauer, who originally had proposed 4,000 seats. In a letter to Dr. William P. Few, President of Duke, Trumbauer said: "For your information Yale has in its new gymnasium a basket ball (sic) court with settings for 1,600 ... I think the settings for 8,000 people is rather liberal ... the Palestra at the University of Pennsylvania seats 9,000."
The original building was a domed structure with 16-feet steel ceiling spans and a 90-by 45-foot playing court. Obviously, Dr. Few must have insisted on something more spectacular.
As important as the size of the Stadium was its external appearance. It was vital that the building be aesthetically integrated with the original West Campus buildings. For this reason, building stone was taken from the Duke quarry in nearby Hillsborough, N.C., where all the stone for the original campus had been found.
Building on the Stadium proceeded quickly. The stone had to be laid in temperate weather, for in extremely cold temperatures, the mortar would freeze. The building was finished in nine months.
Thus the Stadium was ready to be opened by the first of the new year, 1940. The final cost: $400,000 (which Duke finished paying after the football team won the Sugar Bowl in 1945).
The Dedication
Duke's new Indoor Stadium was officially opened on January 6, 1940. Touring the building before the evening ceremony and subsequent game, local city officials were "speechless." Said Chamber of Commerce President Col. Marion B. Fowler, "It is so colossal and so wonderful ... This building will not only be an asset to the university but to the entire community as well." Chamber Secretary Frank Pierson concurred, "There are no superlatives for it."
But Duke's Indoor Stadium was a structure of superlatives. The arena measured 262-feet long by 175-feet wide and was the East Coast's largest indoor stadium south of the Palestra in Philadelphia. Nine fixed steel frames spanned the ceiling at 26-foot intervals, which "provided an exceptionally good sight line." Seating for 8,800 included 3,500 folding bleacher seats on the floor designated, then as today, for the exclusive use of undergraduates. Maximum capacity was 12,000. A total of 16 ramps in the upper level helped prevent bottlenecks. It was according to the program issued the opening night, "one of the most modern and complete physical education buildings in the country."
The building was dedicated before a crowd of 8,000, the largest ever in the history of southern basketball. President William P. Few and Dean William H. Wannamaker presented the Stadium to the University. Dean R.B. House of UNC-Chapel Hill, representing the Southern Conference, also spoke. Aware of the tensions his presence as a member of a rival institution might cause, House affirmed, "I am a Methodist. I aspire to religion, I endorse erudition, and I use ... tobacco ... Hence, I claim to have good personal grounds for being a friend and well-wisher of Duke University." House continued: "... here will be on parade not only Duke University, but also ... youth ... education ... (and) the values of a great and democratic people. Modern games preserve for us the athletic glory of Greece, the executive efficiency of Rome ...."
To the greater glory of Greece, Rome, and particularly Duke University, the Blue Devils beat the visiting Princeton Tigers that night, 36-27.
Renovations
It was in February, 1986, that NBC Sports commentator Dick Enberg told the world about the latest planned renovations for Cameron. "They're going to make a real sports antique out of it ... complete with brass railings and stained glass windows."
For Duke athletic officials watching the Sunday afternoon broadcast of the Duke-Georgia Tech game, this was certainly news. Planned renovations did not, as some rumors indicated, include stained glass windows, but there was a major facelift being planned which included new side walls, a new electronic scoreboard and even brass railings.
Renovations began in 1987. The lobbies and concourse were remodeled during the summer of 1987. Then, in 1988, work began on the interior of the arena. A new electronic scoreboard, new sound system and decorative wood paneling gave Cameron an updated look, while maintaining the original elegance. The addition of 750 new student seats, increasing Cameron's capacity to 9,314, gave the Cameron Crazies, the Duke students who have made a name for themselves as Duke's exceptional "sixth man," a little more room to practice the art of supporting their team creatively.
In the early 1990s, Mike Krzyzewski and Athletic Director Tom Butters decided the time was right to give Cameron an addition with new locker rooms, coaches offices, an academic center and a new Sports Hall of Fame. Several years later, ground was broken for the new Schwartz-Butters Athletic Center after the end of the 1997-98 season. That complex now houses the men's and women's basketball programs, as well as Duke's athletic academic center.
The first part of that expansion and improvement project was the installation of a new floor in Cameron Indoor Stadium after the 1996-97 season. The latest advancements in floor technology were utilized to give the Blue Devils one of the finest playing surfaces in the entire country. Prior to the 1999-2000 season, a new press row was added. Air conditioning was added in 2001-02 and for its 100th season in 2004-05, the concourse was enhanced to celebrate Duke's tradition in men's and women's basketball with the addition of poster displays and all the banners were replaced in the rafters.
Cameron underwent a series of improvements over the summer of 2009 to enhance the gameday experience, while also retaining the revered qualities of the facility as it approached its 70th year as the home of the Blue Devils.
New press row tables were added to include LED technology, while the upper bowl of Cameron saw all 5,649 seats painted Duke blue. Each of the distinctive brass railings that surround the arena were refurbished prior to the beginning of the 2009-10 basketball season.
In 2016, a two-story addition measuring 14,200 square feet came online on Cameron's south side. The first floor features a new lobby and exhibit space, as well as two new areas for ticket operations. The second floor of the new addition houses the Champions Club, a hospitality space with a capacity of roughly 250.
Today
Originally the largest indoor arena in the South, Cameron is today one of the smallest in the nation. Nevertheless, its stature grows from year-to-year. Sellout crowds, top 25 rankings and championships of every variety have become the norm. The "creative harassment" of student spectators has given Duke the honor of being known as "one of the toughest road games in the USA," according to USA Today and any visiting team that has ever played in Cameron. In its June 7, 1999, issue, Sports Illustrated rated Cameron Indoor Stadium fourth on a list of the top 20 sporting venues in the world in the 20th Century, ranking ahead of such notables as Wrigley Field, Fenway Park and Pebble Beach Golf Club.
The Blue Devils have had an amazing amount of success in Cameron. In 1999-2000, Duke established both the Atlantic Coast Conference and school record by extending its home winning streak to 46 games.
Despite the changes that have taken place, Cameron Indoor Stadium has remained very much the same over the last 70+ years. New seating, high tech electronics and a fresh coat of paint have not altered, but rather enhanced, Cameron's most enduring characteristic ... its spirit. It is still a building of superlatives.
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.
”According to Jon Scheyer’s biography on goduke.com”
As a player for Duke for now retired Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski Jon Scheyer was one of the most versatile players in Duke history, concluding his playing career as the only player in school history to record at least 2,000 points, 500 rebounds, 400 assists, 250 three-point field goals and 200 steals. He averaged 14.4 points per game while scoring in double figures 114 times (sixth-most in Duke history) and leading the Blue Devils to a 115-29 (.799) record.
A two-time team captain, Jon Scheyer scored 2,077-career points and still ranks 10th on Duke’s all-time scoring list. He ranks third in Duke history in free throws made (608), fourth in free throw percentage (.861) and three-point field goals made (297) and sixth in free throw attempts (706). He played in 144 consecutive games, tied for the second-longest streak in Duke history.

Following Duke knocking off Wake Forest 75-73 Head Coach Jon Scheyer who is coaching his inaugural season as Duke Head Coach had this to say for his Opening Statement. On the play of Jeremy Roach, Tyrese Proctor. On the high number of fouls and how they’re going to stop them in the future. On the motivation of being out rebounded by Wake Forest in last game. On Dariq Whitehead recovery, potential Saturday play. On the aggressiveness of the offense their ability to attack.
Well, big time game. Thought it was a big win for us. I give Wake Forest a lot of credit. We’re up there, whatever it was 14 or 12, and they fought back and made some big time plays. I felt we were in pretty good control down the stretch. I thought Jeremy [Roach]’s steal and Tyrese [Proctor]’s tip-in was a big time play. Flip [Kyle Filipowski] obviously hitting the three and then the heads up play by Jake [Grandison] and Flip to connect and hit him long to finish. You wish you could make a couple of those free throws, but it happens and we did enough definitely to put ourselves in a position to win, so proud of our team and I think we are getting better. It’s the competition will continue to go up but like what we’re doing and we’ll continue to build and go from here.”“That’s when we’ve been at our best, when [Jeremy Roach] is just playing instinctually and playing aggressive. I think he had 17 [points] in the first half. We weren’t in a great flow offensively and Jeremy wasthe guy that kept us going. I like the look that he had. He drew the toughest assignment guarding [Tyree] Appleby as well. Tyrese is such a natural. He’s a smart player. He makes things easier. He made some uncharacteristic turnovers tonight, but Jeremy we needed in attack mode and that’s what we need to continue him to do.”“I think it’s us just learning how to handle different situations and we played really good basketball to get that lead and now we need to maintain it and one of the best ways for a team to get back in the game is by shooting threes and by fouling. And it’s not like we’re trying to do that but it’s having the discipline to understand the time and score, so we have to continue to learn and I told the team it’s better to learn while you’re winning as opposed to the other way but we have a lot of room to grow and tonight the fouls and the free throws was a big thing.”“Yeah, it was a big thing. And for us that’s been our strength all year. They actually got 10 offensive rebounds, which that wasn’t great, but besides that, we did control the backboards and you know you look at our success, we’ve done that and so we talked about it. Watching back, it’s amazing how different we are than that time that we played Wake and obviously they’re a lot better too, but for us, we’ve grown a lot and to have that response, I thought we came out and really competed the whole game. There wasn’t a drop off with that. We made mistakes and maybe turned the ball over, missed some stuff at the rim, but the competitiveness and the job we did on the backboards was a big difference.” On Dariq Whitehead’s recovery and potential Saturday play: “Yeah, I think it’s too early to say for Saturday, but he’s recovered really well. He was able to do some work today before ourshootaround where he was out on the court and we want to make sure with Dariq he’s, ofcourse, fully healthy, but also game ready. And those are two different things and he’s been working his butt off, progressing really well, and we’ll make that decision as we get close. On the aggressiveness of the offense, their ability to attack. “Those guys, being aggressive, our bigs are going to continue to get attention. It’s opened some things up for Jeremy with the intention that Flip has gotten. Tyrese the same thing. They were really trying to go under a lot tonight, and daring those guysto shoot. They ended up with five threes and shooting a good percentage. I would be okay if they took more, but them being aggressive opens up a lot for Flip, a lot for Ryan [Young] and Dereck [Lively], and by the way, Dereck to have three assists and no turnovers, four blocked shots, he’s just getting better and better. He’s just getting better and better but for Tyrese and Jeremy more of the same.
Though,
Head Coach Jon Scheyer wasn’t the only one to share his thoughts following Duke knocking off Wake Forest 75-73 as freshman foward Kyle Filipowski, freshman guard Tyrese Proctor, junior guard Jeremy Roach did as well. Kyle Filipowski shared his thoughts on the key three pointer that extended Duke’s lead to 7 points late in the game. On what Wake Forest did defensively tonight to make it difficult for him to get going offensively. On what stood out to him the most as has grown, improved throughout the season. When asked what it will be like to be part of Duke-North Carolina rivalry.
“I was just shot-ready. I gave up a look first to Tyrese [Proctor], and the ball finds energy and he got it right back to me, and I was loaded up and ready to go. I just shot the ball with confidence and that’s all it is really.”
“I think they were just being very physical from the beginning with me, and I had to adapt to that a while ago. I think just trying to adapt to every type of defender they threw at me, and I don’t have an issue with that. I didn’t get off to a hot start, but I’m ok with that because other guys were stepping up and that’s great because that helped us get the win. Then down the stretch they kind of leaned on me a little bit and I repaid the favor.”
“Just how much effort they put in every day. Dereck’s [Lively II] getting in the weight room and getting in early in the gym every day, and that’s showing on the court, how much he’s been a big asset for us. Jeremy’s [Roach] coming back and he had a big game today. Tyrese [Proctor] is stepping up as a playmaker, too. All these guys are doing a great job, and I think it’s making the chemistry so much better on the court.”
“It’s awesome. A game is a game in the ACC. A win is a win, but obviously there’s a little more personal side to it. I’m just going to play my butt off like I do every game, enjoy it, embrace the crowd and all the [hype].”
Tyrese Proctor had this to say for his Opening Statement, On Duke’s success tonight in a tight game down the stretch.
thought we all played really well defensively, and we got our open looks on offense. I wasjust reading what wasin front of me, and I’m not trying to force it and just take what the defense gave me. I’m just reading what’s in front of me and not trying to force it.”We’ve been in so many games in this situation, throughout the ACC [season] and pre-[ACC]season, so we know what we need to do to win these type of games now, just staying together and doing it collectively.
Jeremy Roach had this to say for his opening statement, On his match up with Wake Forest guard Tyree Applyby . When asked how Tyrese Proctor playing point position has impacted his role on the court. On the upcoming match up with North Carolina on Saturday.
“He’s a tough match. He’sjust fighting through screens all the time. He can shoot it, he can handle it, and he’s quick – definitely one of the toughest matchups in the ACC. But I’m up for the challenge and I think we had a helluva matchup today.”It just lets me focus on scoring, getting guys involved, too. He’s been doing his thing pretty much the whole season. Recently, he’s stepped up – I know the last two games he’s had 15 assists and one turnover. He’s been doing a helluva job controlling our team.”UNC, they’re a helluva team. Obviously, we lost to them in the Final Four [last season], so we kind of want to see that matchup again. It’s always a great matchup with UNC, whether it’s home or away. It’s always a battle. It’s always a war. Obviously, there’s definitely some extra juice [because of the loss in the Final Four], but I just want to come out there and get the win. We don’t want to worry too much about that, worry about the crowd, or what’s happening around us. We just want to focus on ourselves and get this win.”

Davis led the Tar Heels to a 29-10 record, including 15-5 in the ACC to tie Notre Dame for second place, just a game out of first. The Tar Heels went 7-3 on the road in league play, including five straight victories at Clemson, Louisville, Virginia Tech, NC State and fourth-ranked Duke when UNC won 11 of 13 games to conclude the regular season.
The 29 wins were the second most by an individual in his first season as Carolina’s head coach and equaled the 10th most in NCAA history for a first-year head coach.
The Tar Heels shook up the college basketball scene in a 94-81 win at Duke when they scored 55 second-half points, all five starters played the entire second half and four scored 20 points for the first time in UNC history in Mike Krzyzewski’s final game at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
UNC entered the NCAA Tournament as a No. 8 seed but played some of its best basketball in winning the East Region. The Tar Heels had 51 assists on 62 field goals and sank 24 three-pointers in the first- and second-round wins over Marquette and Baylor, when it crushed the Golden Eagles by 32 points and eliminated the defending NCAA champion Bears in overtime after leading by 25 points in the second half in front of a heavily partisan Baylor crowd in Fort Worth, Texas.

Davis became just the second individual to play for and serve as head coach of the same school in Final Four history; the fourth to take his team to the national championship game in his first season as a head coach; the seventh to play in and be a head coach in the Final Four; and the 10th to lead his team to the Final Four in his first season as a head coach.
The Tar Heels defeated Duke, 81-77, in the national semifinals, the first time the two great rivals ever played in the NCAA Tournament. The game featured a dozen ties and 18 lead changes, 13 of which came in the second half. Over the final 15:42, the margin for either team exceeded a single possession for a little more than just one minute. Carolina would score nine different times in the second half either to break a tie or reverse the lead, including field goals or free throws by all five Tar Heel starters.Davis helped coach 14 players who have played in the NBA, including 10 first-round draft picks – Cole Anthony, Tony Bradley, Reggie Bullock, P.J. Hairston, Justin Jackson, Brice Johnson, Cameron Johnson, Nassir Little, Day’Ron Sharpe and Coby White.
Brice Johnson and Jackson were consensus first-team All-America and first-team All-ACC selections; Jackson was the 2017 ACC Player of the Year and Cameron Johnson earned first-team All-ACC honors.
Jackson and Cameron Johnson rank one-two in UNC single-season history in three-pointers. Johnson transferred to UNC from Pittsburgh and blossomed into the 11th pick in the first round of the 2019 NBA Draft.

Anthony set the ACC record for most points in a college debut and had the second-highest single-season scoring average by a Tar Heel freshman.
White set the UNC single-season record for most threes by a freshman and became the seventh pick in the first round of the 2019 NBA Draft.As a North Carolina player, Hubert Davis played for Dean Smith at Carolina from 1988-92 and was an assistant coach on Roy Williams’ staff from 2012-21.
