It started on defense and then turned into easy offense,”“I know I got a few transition threes and then it turned into everybody getting buckets.”
Following 86-66 win over Syracuse who plays a zone defense Duke Head Coach Jon Scheyer had this to say!
Who would have ever thought?”We only played it a couple of possessions, trying to protect our paint. There’s things we practice and we’ve had in our pocket that we haven’t gone to in games, the zone being one of them. It’s important to have different looks. I thought we did a really good job for never playing it.”

Following Duke’s 72-68 loss to Georgia Tech in inaugural meeting of 2023-2024 regular season Duke Head Jon Scheyer had this to say about Mitchell being called for taunting about how his team is playing offensively. They (referees) told me it was taunting and it was clear,”“Like, there was no arguing it. There’s no defense. He pointed and said something. If that’s the case, he can’t do that. But I can’t say that he did because I haven’t seen that play yet. And you don’t need me to tell you that’s a big play in the game.”
“I haven’t liked the way we shared the ball the last two games,”
“We have 11 assists. We, as a team, I believe should have close to 20 assists a game. We should. It should come easier for us.”
