Following Duke knocking off 17th ranked Miami 68-66 Saturday Head Coach Jon Scheyer had this to say for his Opening Statement. On the last bucket from Tyrese Proctor and the elements it takes to win this kind of a game. On playing zone defense: On the unselfishness of the offense: On Jacob Grandison’s offensive play “Great win for us. I was told before it was the 500th consecutive sellout that we’ve had and what an amazing place to play basketball games. Cameron is one of a kind. I think itshowed today. Really proud of the overall effort. I thought everybody on the team stepped up at different moments and for me, Dereck Lively, he’s been working his butt off every day with Coach [Amile] Jefferson. He keeps getting better and for him to have six offensive rebounds, 10 rebounds overall, five blocked shots. Thought we had to change our defenses up. Miami is an explosive team. You never relax when you’re playing against them and to hold them to 66 points, I’m really proud of our defense and the job that we did. Coach Lucas, Jai, has been our defensive coordinator. He actually had the scout for Miami as well. He’s been huge for us in what we’ve done, so happy to answer any questions but really proud of the effort. “Just gutting it out. Getting loose balls, finishing plays, because you like to say ‘make shots’ and we do, we execute. I thought we got some good ones, but our defense has been our backbone and I think we are the type of team we have to gut it out and scrap and crawl and we did that. The last minute, that stop that we got I think it was a two- or three-point game and just to come up with the loose ball, really to me, was the difference.”“Well, as much as you can try and keep them out of the paint, and we did that, we gave up 10 threes which hasn’t been typical of our defense. They’re a tough team to control the ball one-on-one. They have literally four guys that can create at all times. [Norchad] Omier is a load in the post. So just being able to switch it up and give different looks. When Ryan [Young]’s on the floor it’s different than when Dereck’s on the floor and trying to play to those strengths is what we’ll continue to do and adjust that.”was proud of our offense. I thought we came out really clicking, sharing the ball, I mean we had 38 points at half, so our offense was good. It was more our defense and Miami is a team where you can have a high scoring game against them. In the second half, to hold them to 28 points, that’s a big deal. That’s not an easy thing to do, so proud of defense but really our offense, the way we shared it. We didn’t really have turnovers just by being careless with the ball, more just learning how to play through contact and play through resistance. Sometimes on drives they do a good job when you get downhill just attacking the ball and we need to be stronger in those areas.Jake is just a calming force. He makes really easy plays. Ball doesn’t stick with him. He’s the best post passer that we have. He’s always a threat. He shot 40 [percent] from three today still, but he’s a guy you have to guard. He’s capable of having a five, six three game which I believe he’s got in him still. And he battles, he knows how to compete. He’s battle tested. He’s been in big-time environments and I just thought when he was in there he made us better today.
Though,
Duke Head Coach Jon Scheyer wasn’t the only Head Coach to share his thoughts following Duke’s 68-66 win over Miami as Miami Head Coach Jim Larranaga did as well.
Jim Larranaga said this for his Opening Statement on how Miami tried to handle Duke’s size and home court advantage: On the play of Norchad Omier: On Isiah Wong playing ill today:
Though,
Duke Head Coach Jon Scheyer, Miami Head Coach Jim Larranaga weren’t the only ones to share their thoughts following Duke knocking off 17th ranked 68-66 Miami as Duke players did as well.
Those Duke players included Junior guard Jeremy Roach, Freshman Forward Kyle Filipowski , Freshman Center Dereck Lively II.
Jeremy Roach shared his thoughts on the defense he played on Miami’s Isiah Wong: On returning from toe injury.
I was really just having flashbacks to last year [versus Miami]. They had like two or three crucial buckets in like the last minute-thirty last year, and I just didn’t want that to happen to me. Getting stops was the biggest key in those last two minutes. I just didn’t want him to score, get in the lane and try to find somebody, or me getting caught off, he gets a step on me and gets a layup. I just wanted to get a stop.”“It’s probably the best I’ve felt since Iowa [December 6, 2022 in Madison Square Garden]. I’m just happy to be out there with my brothers and just happy we got the win. It’s just big for our confidence getting a win like that. We’ve just got to keep growing, keep learning, and don’t listen to any outside noise, listen to the 15 guys that are in here and the coaches in the locker room, and everything will take care of itself.”
Kyle Filipowski shared his thoughts on how Duke executed down the stretch to win the game, compared to Clemson game. On his appearing more and more confident as the season goes on: On having point guard Jeremy Roach back from injury: On Duke’s zone defense today.
Dereck Lively II shared his thoughts by saying this for his Opening Statement.
“Just being able to get a win over Miami is a great W. Being able to come back after some hardships, come back after some adversity, just being able to keep our heads straight, keep our heads forward, and keep pushing. We wanted it. Every time we want it, we’re going to go get it. We rely on each other, we rely on each other’s energy, we rely on Cameron’s energy. It doesn’t matter whether we’re here or away – we’re going to rely on each other.
On the play of the Duke freshman:
Great boards, just being able to stay aggressive, being able to fight through contact, being able to take contact and give contact, it’s something that college has shown me and I’m just adapting to it. I’m just putting work in, putting more and more work in than I have before, and that’s what’s going to happen – each level you get to, you’ve got to put more work and more time in. You’ve got to keep your head straight and just dig deep

Following Duke’s 63-57 win in inaugural meeting 2022-2023 regular season Saturday in Durham Jon Scheyer who is coaching his inaugural season as Duke Head Coach had this to say for his opening statement. On the huge impact Dereck Lively had on game even without a prominent scoring performance. On the affect a win like this can have on the confidence of a young team. On players making winning plays down the stretch , even after playing extensive minutes “Just, I think, the will to win. They just had a big time will to win. Even talking to them before the game, they just had a look. We’ve gotten tougher from the experiences we’ve gone through. I think we’ve gotten closer when you go through some stuff. Whether you lose a tough one, whether you don’t play as well. We’ve just blocked it all out and kept pushing. We have to do the same thing now in a different way, because this is obviously a great win for us but we play Miami in 48 hours. I justcredit the will that our guys have. Itcomesfrom within. Credit to them justcontinuing to work, continuing to believe, and understanding what it takes to win.” On the physicality of the game! It was a physical game, on both ends. That was a huge thing for us, going into this game. They get to the foul line more than anybody. For us, just making them earn it. You know, [Caleb]Love hitsome tough shots; make him earn it. Don’t just give them free throws. They’re automaticfree throw shooters. [Armando] Bacot puts a lot of pressure on you at the free throw line. I credit Dereck with him. I thought we were fortunate they also missed some open looks. It’s a one possession game. I was proud of our guys for not being handsy. Playing without using their hands, and also being physical without fouling. That’s something, as a young team, we’ve had to learn. We’ve gotten pushed around at time throughout the year, but, for us, we’ve learned how to do that much better.
Though, Head Coach Jon Scheyer wasn’t the only Head Coach to share his thoughts following Duke’s 63-57 win over North Carolina as North Carolina Head Coach Hubert Davis did as well on shooting 27 three pointers . On how Dereck Lively changed the game. On what Coach will tell team ahead of Tuesday’s match up with Wake Forest. On team morale compared to last season.
don't think just because we shot 27 makes it we turned into a three-point shooting team. The stat that I'm looking at, is that going into the game we had shot 150 more free throws than any other opponent in our conference. We shot three; zero in the second half. That is what I'm looking at.”He [Dereck Lively] is a fantastic player; Duke is a fantastic defensive team. They pressure you. They do a great job with their quickness moving their feet. Dereck is one of the best, if not the best even if he doesn't block it, his length and his athleticism can alter it. We went to the free throw line three times, and we shoot 150 more than any team in the conference. “There is no other option. Yes. I don't know what else to tell the team. We got to play awake on Tuesday. Crap. This is basketball; this is life. Let's go back to work tomorrow. Let's get back to work. Let's work hard. Let's do it with energy, effort, passion, enthusiasm. Let's go show up on Monday. Let's work hard: energy, effort, passion, enthusiasm, togetherness, closeness, hunger and thirst. Let's play on Tuesday against a great, unbelievable Wake Forest team.”That is difficult. I think I know where you're coming from. It's just a difficult question for me to answer, and this is the reason: I don't think about last year at all. I just don't. For me, it just has been no benefit. I don't think it has any benefit for us moving forward. I think I've said this to you guys before. The number one thing that I learned as a second-year head coach is that every year is different. I think our guys love playing with each other. I think our guys love doing this together. One of the things that I always tell them is to find joy and how hard it is to be successful, whether it's individually or as a team. I think our guys really enjoy playing together. That's why they came back.
Following Duke’s 63-57 win in inaugural meeting of 2022-2023 regular season with North Carolina Saturday junior guard Jeremy Roach, freshman center Dereck Lively II , freshman guard Tyrese Proctor shared their thoughts.
Jeremy Roach shared his thoughts about Dereck Lively II on the play he scored on a drive to put Duke up four points with 23 seconds left in the game. When asked if this win was particularly losing to North Carolina at home then in Final Four.
“He’s been working his tail off since he got here. Obviously, he’s had some ups and downs at the beginning of the season, but he’s come in every day, worked, lifting. It’s showing off now and I’m just so happy for him.”“It was a ball screen between me and Flip [Kyle Filipowski]. I told him to slip it. We knew [North Carolina] would kind of mess up on their talking, which they did, and I think two guys went to Flip, and I kind of got an easy lane when [Armando] Bacot was looking for the lob. I got an easy lane, and we executed it perfectly“Definitely, it was a little bit personal for me, with what happened last year obviously. I just wanted to come out here and do everything I can to get this win. It kind of eases [the pain of last year] a little bit. Obviously, we’ve still got more work to do. We play them again, so we can’t just think about what we did last time. We’ve got to go out there and do it again.” “This is a rivalry. We take it a game at a time, but, obviously, this game definitely has a little more juice to it. I’m just happy that these guys got the chance to experience this rivalry, experience this atmosphere, and I’m glad that we came out with the win.”
Dereck Lively II had this to say for his opening statement It was a great atmosphere to be in. You know both teams are going to give it their all, and it’s just a great competition to be in. I’m just glad to be here. I’m glad to compete with my brothers. When asked about his ability to make huge contributions tonight without score many points.
“That’s just something I’ve always been able to do. I haven’t been able to be as offensive-driven as every other player here, but I’ve got my own way to give to this team. I get my rebounds, I get my blocks, [and] I do the dirty work.”
“According to article on goduke.com”
“I think rebounds was a huge thing. D-Live [Dereck Lively II] did a great job on the boards. The 50/50 balls was next – we got a lot of loose balls that I think a few games ago we wouldn’t have gotten. [We were] just locking in on that in the film [room] and really emphasizing that before the game.”
On play of Dereck Lively II “D-Live [Dereck Lively II] worked his butt off all night. He had a big-time matchup and an experienced guy in Armando [Bacot], great rebounder. He just did his job. He was physical the whole night. His main goal coming into this was just get [Bacot] off the boards by boxing him out and letting us get all the rebounds for him. All the rebounds that me and [Jeremy] Roach got and all the guys, it’s his work. We just got all the cleanup. And I think he had eight blocks orsomething at the end of the game. It’s just crazy. He had a great game. I think his confidence was there the whole time, but he’s starting to get into a rhythm now.” “We’ve had a lot of ups and downs this season, but we kept strong faces the whole game and were really close late in that game. I think in the last five minutes our huddles and our talk were really, really key, and everyone was just locked in on the final target.” “The atmosphere wascrazy. It was the loudest game I’ve ever been in in my life. It wascrazy – I couldn’t hear myself think and I’m just so happy we got the win.”
