I thought Mark and Flip were men,”“I thought they’re really tough tonight. Anybody who doubts their toughness, or what they’re about, they don’t know Mark Mitchell. They don’t know Kyle Filipowski. Those guys were just men tonight.”

Though,

Duke Head Coach Jon Scheyer wasn’t the only Head Coach to share thoughts following Duke’s 77-69 win over Wake Forest Monday in Durham as Wake Forest Head Coach Steve Forbes did as well by saying Duke did a great job of adjusting to our ball screen coverages. We were blitzing the sides and he went to naked pick and roll in the second half. We helped big help big which is where four helps five and five is the one blitzing then four helps on the roll. They put Mitchell at the top which was smart. Then they kicked it to him, and the four had to cover  him. Andrew got in foul trouble so Damari had to guard

Mitchell and Filipowski were unbelievable. They both played great. During the guts of the game we didn't give up. I think we gave up three offensive rebounds in the second half. Those three offensive rebounds we allowed killed us in the guts of the game when they got a couple of back to back rebounds that we really needed to get. We were getting stops then we couldn't get the ball and kept fouling.
I have to give credit to those guys. I don't know if Jon took Filipowski or Mitchell out during the second half. They probably could have played the whole game. They played at an elite level. For us to win an elite-level road game like that you can't give up 48 points in the second half and that's a credit to Duke. McCain was good, Roach was steady. For us on offense, Hunter and Parker were the only two that could really get going. Andrew played well, but he fouled. We just had foul trouble all over the place."

We can't afford to lose players because of fouls and he [Watkins] played a lot with three fouls,"That's just part of the game. That was maybe not the best decision to push the ball down the court in those circumstances. He's had a great year for us. I don't know if I've ever had somebody who's led us in scoring rebounding and assists."
