For the last ten days Jeremy Roach has been sidelined with a toe injury!
As Duke is facing, opposing Clemson this evening who is in an unusual spot in Atlantic Coast Conference Standings as they’re first in standings Jeremy Roach is remaining sidelined with toe injury.
With that in mind,
The next opportunity for Tyrese Proctor to start at point guard for Duke is going be this evening 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.’’

Though,
Jon Scheyer who is coaching inaugural season as Duke Head Coach wasn’t the one to share his thoughts following Duke’s come back win over Pittsburgh 77-69 as freshman forward Kyle Filipowski, freshman guard Tyrese Proctor, freshman forward Dariq Whitehead did as well.
Freshman center Kyle Filipowski had this to say for his Opening Statement on what Jon Scheyer said to the team at halftime “I think a big thing was just turnovers in the first half for us. [Reducing the turnovers] gave us a lot more shot attempts in the second half. And also, just our defense – we let up around 40 points in the first half. That wasn’t really our type of defense. I don’t know how [many points] we let up in the second half, but it wasn’t nearly as much. That also turned into offense for us. We were all on the same page tonight and it was a really good win overall.” “We’ve just got to build off this now. We know how great of a team we can be. We know we still have a lot better things to do as well, like take care of the ball a little better, and things like that. This is a just a little sneak peak of the potential we have and how good all of us can be.”
Freshman guard Tyrese Proctor had this to say for his opening statement on the play of the Duke freshman tonight.
Especially with Jeremy [Roach] being out, on court I’ve got to be the leader – I’m playing point guard. He’sstill impacting us off the court, grabbing guys through little bits of the game and just talking to us. But when I’m on the floor, I’m going to be the most vocal to everyone and just try to get everyone on the same page. The main message I was giving to them was don’t give up and keep fighting.
“Everyone’s saying we’re all soft and all young, but we don’t let that slide and we wanted to come out and prove everyone a point – that we can hang with everyone and we can play the way we want to play. Everyone around the country’stalking about our age and how young we are, [teams] trying to out-tough us and be more physical with us, but we hear that and we just take it on and use it to build confidence. We came out and wanted to prove a point and I thought we did.” “It wascrazy. We just fed off the Crazies and the crowd tonight. It was a great atmosphere and I’m happy we got the win.”
Freshman Dariq Whitehead who unlike his freshman teammates Kyle Filipowski, Tyrese Proctor is a forward had this to say following Duke’s come back win over Pittsburgh for his opening statement, when asked if this game felt like a turning point for this Duke team.
“It’s the first day of class, the Crazies came back, so we fed off that energy and it was huge for us. I honestly feel like they changed the game, really.” “We’ve just got to continue to grow in practice, limit the turnovers. I feel like if we just continue to play as a team and just continue to share the ball, then the sky’s the limit for this team.”It should be a turning point for the team. Just us seeing how well we share the ball together, I feel like it should be huge for this team. That should continue down the road.
