Following Duke’s win at Syracuse Saturday night via score of 77-55, Duke improving to 3-6 away from Cameron Indoor Stadium as Jon Scheyer is coaching inaugural season as Duke Head Coach Jon Scheyer had this to say for his opening statement. On what key was to being more efficient. On how Duke attacked the zone during 21-2 first half run. On what the conversation was with his shooters and if it was a normal game. On playing in front of 30,00 how it prepares the team for future games on the road. On Dariq Whitehead ‘s performance. On how Tyrese Proctor responded going up against Joe Girard.

“That was a great win for our team. Thought our defense really carried the day for us. It’s an honor for me to coach against Jim Boeheim. I’ve been at a lot of dinners where Coach Boeheim, Coach K, myself, a lot of memories. Just picking his brain and he’s been one of the all-time great coaches. For us, like I said, our defense. Tyrese [Proctor], the job that he did on [Joe] Girard was big-time. Dereck [Lively II] is such a difference maker protecting our basket. He just really is. I don’t think there’s anybody quite like him in the country. Mark [Mitchell], he just had a really good overall game. I could go on about each guy that played for us tonight. It was a great collective effort. Once we stopped turning the ball over, we were able to stretch the lead there. And that was a big key to the game there. Really happy for our group. We have to turn around quick now, for Monday. But happy to get this win against a good Syracuse team.”“I thought overall we just made the right play and shared it. I don’t think it’s more complicated than that. We didn’t do anything crazy on offense in terms of X-and-O wise. But it was more about playing fundamentally sound. When we left our feet or we just made passes without moving it, they turned the ball over. And look, in the first half, 15 of their 27 points were off turnovers. That was the difference to the game. And you come out in the second half, you only have two turnovers until the final two minutes, we made that adjustment. Proud of our group for doing that in-game. And also, this is our first time seeing their zone. Their zone is different. They have really good athletes. They anticipate well. They have active hands. So once we got accustomed to their zone, I thought we settled in and just made some really nice plays.“Well, one, we get out in transition. And when you can do that, that makes your life easy. We made good decisions there. And then just being poised. It looks easier than it is when you catch the ball in the middle of their zone. I actually thought Mark did a really nice job in there. Just had great poise, making the right plays. And then attacking the basket when we had the opportunity to doing that. But really it came down to sharing it, playing aggressively and getting out in transition.”“For us, still wanted to play to our identity. And that’s inside-out. Our threes, for the most part, came from getting the ball inside. And so, when you’re open, we have good shooters. We just don’t’ have guys that are flying off screens, shooting the ball, turning. But when they’re open, they can really hit. So, I thought we did a great job of having the balance. 13-of-26, ofcourse, I think the percentage reflectsthe quality of shot that we took. And that’s what it’s about for us. Not about a quantity, but more about what’s the quality, in terms of what’s the right shot that we’re getting. Open threes, we’ll take those. So, did a good job of that.”It’s probably the necessary next step for our team. Early we had some really rough performances on the road. And really since that point, even in January, we’re right there. We’ve either been leading or it’s a one-possession game down the stretch, except for the game at Miami. Besides that, we’ve been right there. For us, just to put a whole game together and you handle those key moments – end of the half I thought was the one point we let them go, I think it was a 6-0 run, we let them get back in it a bit. But besides that, just kept our foot on the gas and learned from our past mistakes and past experiences. And we’ll have to continue to do that moving forward.”“Dariq had a great game. He’s got a great offensive groove right now. His shooting and scoring, his passing, he comes in and we just go up. And they really challenged him early in this game on the defensive end. I thought there were a couple playsthere he could make. To hiscredit, he really responded. He can really guard. When you have him and Mark [Mitchell] on the floor, they can guard one-through-four at times. So, their versatility is key. Dariq has done such a better job just on both ends. His contributions to winning, throughout, I was really pleased with.”He did incredible. [Girard] got his points, outside of one Tyrese fouled him, besides that, he got his points when other guys were on him. I thought he was incredibly disciplined. He’s put together some big-time defensive performances back-to-back-to-back. It’s a credit to his growth. He’s tough as can be on that end. And on offense, it just was one of those nights. He had six assists; he only took five shots but he was 3-of-5. Just had a really good, here’s a floor general for us. Just really controlled the game. And then defended one of the best scorers in the league and limited him, even though I know he ended up with 21.

Though,

Jon Scheyer wasn’t the only Head Coach to share his thoughts as Duke won at Syracuse Saturday night 77-55 following Duke improving to 3-6 away from Cameron Indoor Stadium as Syracuse Head Coach Jim Boeheim did as well sharing his opening statement on if he was surprised by performance Syracuse on what wasn’t working during Duke’s 21-2 run in first half.

Defensively today, they just doubled and pushed. And were just physical with Jesse [Edwards] down inside. That’s something he’s had problems with. And we need him, obviously, to be a factor on the offensive end. Judah [Mintz] and Joe [Girard] did what they could. We just got no help from the three position. We tried four different people there but we could get nothing going at that position. But the bottom line, Jesse has to be able to score for us to be effective. Our defense wasn’t’ really that bad. There were spots, we had that one bad run, and it got to 19. But then we started playing better, we got it back to nine. But we justcould not score enough. You’re not going to win games scoring 55 points. And again, a lot of that is Duke. They’re really good defensively. Physical. And just took our inside game completely away. We had nothing there. And really, we made some pretty good steals, we probably got 10, 12 points off steals. We probably really scored 45 points in our offense. The rest were, made some good steals defensively. But we just have to be able to score inside to be able to be in this game. And we couldn’t. But again, a lot of that is their defenses was very good.”“I didn’t think that they’d be able to stop Jesse like that. I really didn’t. But they kept him outside the lane and he just couldn’t get to where he could get his shot. And when he did, he just couldn’t finish in there.”“Well, even at the beginning, our offense wasn’t good. We were just playing defense and we got two or three steals for buckets. Our offense never was working, in reality. Judah made some really good individual plays but we never got anything going as a group with our interior players. Our threes, fours and fives, I think we were 0-for-8 with Justin [Taylor] and Chris [Bell] and Maliq [Brown] really couldn’t score. And Jesse couldn’t score. So, we just couldn’t score in there and that’s a credit to their defense being physical. But we never did score the whole game.
