The next opportunity for Tyrese Proctor to start at point guard for Duke is likely to be Saturday when Duke plays at Clemson as Jon Scheyer who is coaching his inaugural season as Duke Head Coach said following Duke’s 77-69 win over Pittsburgh that unless something crazy changes Jeremy Roach won’t be available Saturday by saying we want to make sure that he’s back 100 percent before he comes back . But the thing we’ve talked about is that we’re a man down still, so we have to step up even more. And really, I thought everybody did that Tyrese, the job he did, to be a freshman in this game to have 5 assists and no turnovers is a big deal for us… He just got us under control , and we’re going to need him to continue to do, that even when Jeremy comes back.’’
