Following Duke’s 72-64 loss to Clemson Jon Scheyer who is coaching his inaugural season as Duke Head Coach had this to say for his opening statement. On the offensive struggles in the final minutes of the game. On limiting Hunter Tyson. On what the team will focus on during its week off before Miami game. Great environment. Great opportunity for us and I know clearly it meant a lot to them. They (Clemson) played great. Especially in that second half, I think it came down to them getting in our paint too easily. Back and forth the whole way, I thought it was a great game. Both teams struggled to shoot. Disappointed for our guys, thought we were ready to play, thought we fought, thought we were right there. Just learning how to win, and not going to stop for us. Going to continue to go and learn from this and keep building. But, disappointed, not happy. You have to, been in this as a player, an assistant coach, where you have to learn to hate to lose. That’s where I’m at. Disappointed for our guys and we have to learn and grow. Well, give them credit first of all. They’re really good defensively. They’re physical, their pick-and-roll defense is good as anybody that we’ve played. And it’s, for us, learning how to play through that. You’re going to play really good defenses, and down the stretch, knowing how to manufacture points for each other, it’s not going to be as much on your own getting one. And we’re still learning that. Thought for the first 30, 35 minutes, we did a really good job. Missed some shots, and we have to finish through some contact but it’s just learning how to score together in those situations against really good defense.We felt like he was the key. He’s been playing at as high of a level as anybody in our conference, our league. Other guys stepped up, give [Brevin] Galloway credit, obviously we know who [PJ] Hall is as a player and what he did tonight. But the job Mark Mitchell, really guarded [Tyson] for the most part and I think actually his buckets came, I think one was on [Mitchell], the whole game. Which says a lot about the effort that he had. Pretty sure that’s his low, seven [points], three turnovers. But he’s a really good player, we got lucky, he missed a couple open ones too. But I was happy with our team effort on him.Just building on who we are as a team. We’ve had, we’ll see what Jeremy [Roach’s] status is, first and foremost. Get our guys refreshed. It’s been a grind here for us, so getting a chance to evaluate who we have and health and all that stuff. Clearly, learning from our offense down the stretch is something that I want to build on for us. I thought we had, we have to play to our strengths, we’re an inside-out team, I don’t think that’s any secret. We were 3-of-20 ourselves. But just learning how to play together and execute down the stretch and then of course on our defense, taking away the pain. After watching the film, I may have more for you but off the top of my head, that’s it.

Though,

Jon Scheyer who is coaching his inaugural season as Duke Head Coach wasn’t the only one to share his thoughts following Duke’s 72-64 loss to Clemson as freshman forward Kyle Filipowski, Center Ryan Young did as well.

Kyle Filipowski shared his thoughts about what changed in the last five or six minutes saying “I think we just kind of made some careless passes, we weren’t getting any shots off in the last five minutes or so, we were turning the ball over more again. So, I think we’ve got to stay a little more poised in that situation. Not let anything else affect us, everybody take care of the ball, do what we did the whole game. And I think the effort overall too, just with some defensive possessions as well, not getting the loose ball or rebound at the end was kind of killer for us.”

Ryan Young shared his thoughts on what got away from team offensively in the last five minutes of second half. On if he knows what made the last four minutes different.

“I think they were better than us in just about everything in the last four minutes. Offensively, they got to the rim, they got rebounds when they needed to, and they made us take tough shots in the last four, they made all their free throws. I thought we played 36 good minutes of basketball, and the last four, we just didn’t compete as hard as them the last four.Got to go back and watch the film and I’ll have more of an answer. Felt like they did everything right in the last four and we did nothing right. Like I said, I’ve got to go watch it and actually piece it down, but they were aggressive in getting to the rim. It seemed like they were taking a lot of three’s earlier in the game, and the last four both their guards and bigs were getting to the rim. So, that might have been a part of it for sure.

As stated above,

Duke comes into the game with a record of 13-5 , 4-3 in the Atlantic Coast Conference is eighth in the Atlantic Coast Conference standings behind NC State who is in 7th in the Atlantic Coast Conference standings as NC State has a record of 14-4 4-3 in Atlantic Coast Conference in front of North Carolina who is 9th in the Atlantic Coast Conference standings because Duke lost 72-64 to Clemson.
