Duke basketball gets its revenge, posts 71-67 ACC win over NC ... (Raleigh News & Observer)

Head coach Jon Scheyer, Blue Devils win/lose a physical, contentious hoops game with Wolfpack at Cameron Indoor in Durham NC on Tuesday night.

After Joiner hit a 3-pointer, Proctor scored on a driving layup before Filipowski banked in a basket following a spin move in the lane. Duke needed those high-percentage shots because it shot 38.5% overall in the first half. Roach scored his baskets from there and Duke led 65-53 with 2:05 to play. Roach scored eight points, scoring his four baskets on aggressive drives through the lane. Mainly guarded by Duke 7-1 freshman center Dereck Lively, DJ Burns scored 13 points but hit only 2 of 19 shots in the second half. The Wolfpack’s 8-0 run, punctuated by another Joiner 3-pointer, cut Duke’s lead to 46-44. His free throw gave Duke a 59-47 lead. “We’re a completely different team to the first time they saw us,” Proctor said. The win completes a perfect season of home games for Duke (22-8, 13-6 ACC), which went unbeaten in 16 games on Coach K Court. It also avenged one of Duke’s most humbling losses of the season, an 84-60 setback to NC State at PNC Arena on Jan. “Really proud of our team for the growth that we’ve made this season. “Dereck’s job on Burns, Tyrese with Smith,” Scheyer said.

5 observations from Duke men's basketball's first half against N.C. ... (Duke Chronicle)

Playing at home in Cameron Indoor Stadium for one last time in the 2022-23 season, Duke kept pace with visiting N.C. State early Tuesday evening before ...

By the end of the half, Roach had eight points to go along with an assist and a steal. Not once, not twice, but three times, the junior captain turned a pumpkin of a possession into a carriage with deft drives to the basket as the shot clock expired. In lieu of quality looks at the basket, the Blue Devils padded their point total by getting to the line — a lot. The opening minutes were a sprint, as both teams looked to get a bucket as fast as possible. Nearly a decade ago, Jabari Parker, Quinn Cook and current assistant coach Amile Jefferson led the Blue Devils to an undefeated record at home during the 2013-14 season. Playing at home in Cameron Indoor Stadium for one last time in the 2022-23 season, Duke kept pace with visiting N.C.

They had 21 turnovers to NC State and lost. They’ve been very aggressive in their last four consecutive wins, passing the ball selflessly and attacking the hoop with authority. However, they’ve historically covered the spread against the Blue Devils, going 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings. NC State is 4-5 ATS on the road. The Wolfpack handed the Blue Devils a terrible loss the last time these two teams met and they will be looking to replicate that result here tonight. The biggest challenge, however, will be overcoming the rocking Duke crowd in Cameron Indoor. In their first meeting with the Blue Devills, the Wolfpack were able to force 21 turnovers and win the game by 24 points. The NC State Wolfpack (22-8) will visit Cameron Indoor Stadium to take on the Duke Blue Devils (21-8). If NC State can play defense half as well as they did the first time out, this game will remain close. They shot only slightly better from the field than Duke, but were able to force a whopping 21 Blue Devil turnovers and convert them into buckets on the other end. They’ll be hungry to finish their ACC schedule off strong, starting with a win against NC State. The Duke Blue Devils will be making the tournament once again in the history of their storied program, but have not enjoyed the regular season success they’ve seen in years past.

In a battle of unranked ACC teams, the NC State Wolfpack (22-8) will make the short trip to Durham to take on the Duke Blue Devils (21-8). At Cameron Indoor Stadium, I like the Dukies to come out strong, covering the 6.5 in the end. The NC State Wolfpack got off to a hot start this season, winning 15 of their first 19 games. Against fellow ACC opponents, the Wolf Pack is 12-7, having already defeated the Blue Devils back once this year by a score of 84-60 (back on January 4). The Blue Devils, winners of four-straight games, will look to make it five consecutive victories on Tuesday evening. era, Duke’s new head coach Jon Scheyer has kept the Blue Devils competitive, playing to a 12-6 conference record thus far.

CRAZIE AS EVER: Duke men's basketball takes down N.C. State to ... (Duke Chronicle)

Led by Roach, the Blue Devils held on late to finish off the program's 19th undefeated season inside the walls of Cameron Indoor Stadium.

But for me, the first time I ever visited Duke was coming to a Duke game. State early in the first, scoring seven quick points to pace the visitors with Smith in foul trouble and held scoreless until a pair of free throws with 15:27 to play. But the Blue Devils managed to slow Burns down late in the first frame. Filipowski and Lively controlled the glass for the Blue Devils, combining for 26 rebounds as Duke won the rebounding battle 44-35. Offense was hard to come by for both teams in the opening minutes, as the Wolfpack took a 4-2 lead into the media timeout. On one possession, Filipowski came over to help in the post, forcing the Wolfpack big man into a travel. His offense was key, but the Blue Devils made a living at the free throw line, shooting 12-of-17 at the stripe before the break. With the shot clock winding down and the students in Section 17 providing a live countdown, Roach — who finished with 20 points — burst off the 3-point line and drove for the basket, cutting the N.C. Another Duke run materialized in an instant, and a Filipowski and-one — complete with flex and roar — gave Duke its biggest lead at 59-47 with 8:38 to go. The graduate guard collected 26 points Tuesday to lead all scorers and kept the Wolfpack in it whenever their deficit threatened to get out of hand inside Cameron Indoor. The freshman forward opened the half with a corner three and ushered the Wolfpack into an early timeout with a tough jumper from the midrange. Jeremy Roach, Mark Mitchell, Tyrese Proctor and Kyle Filipowski combined for 54 points in what doubled as a revenge game, and Duke walked out of Cameron Indoor on Senior Night with a season-long five-game winning streak to its name, adding fuel to the fire ahead of Saturday’s showdown at North Carolina.

Duke Drops The Wolfpack In Cameron, 71-67 (Duke Basketball Report)

You got the distinct feeling that these two teams don't much like each other. There was plenty of pushing and shoving, particularly between Tyrese Proctor and ...

The tension wasn’t as high as it was between Smith and Proctor or maybe Burns and Lively, but it was there. By the time the second half started, Duke had established a certain level of dominance and ultimately pushed out to a 12-point lead. He calmed him down, more or less, and hilariously, held Lively at arms length even though Lively was resisting him. But the Pack fought back and cut that back to three points at 67-64 with :34 left. Filipowski and Lively did not back down to Burns or anyone else. And then there was Jeremy Roach. At one point, the crowd was on Burns and he yelled back that Lively couldn't defend him one-on-one. Filipowski helped to double team at times, and while Burns scored 13, he shot just 6-15 to do it. You have to say this for State: you know Kevin Keatts craves toughness and that’s a tough group. He knows exactly what he can and can’t do and clearly he’s become a leader. Speaking of Gantt, we got the sense that he and Filipowski aren’t exactly buddies. There was plenty of pushing and shoving, particularly between Tyrese Proctor and Terquavion Smith.

A win over the Tar Heels on the road Saturday would give Duke its third Quad 1 win of the season and possibly deny its rival a chance to make the NCAA Tournament. The win over NC State moved Duke to 6-1 in Quad 1 games. That growth has been shown in the recent NET (NCAA Evaluation Tool) rankings that have the Blue Devils at No.

Behind Blue Devils five-game stretch of wins, Jeremy Roach leading the way for coach Jon Scheyer's group with ACC, NCAA tournaments looming.

January league road losses at NC State, Clemson and Virginia Tech knocked the Blue Devils from the national rankings but they are now playing like a team no team wants to match up with in tournament play. He’s done it really since high school and we need him to continue to do it.” But a month later, during that humbling defeat to the Wolfpack, Roach played 23 minutes. He just has a knack for making timely baskets.” 4, Jeremy Roach sat on the bench most of the second half watching his team absorb an 84-60 beating. “My teammates are finding me when I’m open. That’s by design, of course. State on Tuesday. While it’s exactly what Duke first-year coach Jon Scheyer expects from his most experienced player, he’s also thrilled to see it all come together. “He’s been through it. State played basketball on Jan. “Jeremy’s a winner,” Scheyer said.

Duke Took The NC Stat (Duke Basketball Report)

Not only did Duke beat a really good team in NC State, the Devils delivered the first undefeated home season since 2014. And they did it in Jon Scheyer's rookie ...

Duke would still have to deal with the winner of the Tech Bowl and then Clemson, should they advance and then most likely Pitt. The Blue Devils are still young of course, but earlier in the season, they lost their composure occasionally and didn’t really know what to do in the clutch. That’s a rather significant improvement, let alone from the early part of the season, where Duke would have bundles of turnovers that seemingly bred and multiplied. Neither one is an NBA player or anything - Young is too limited athletically, and Grandison is not quick enough and not nearly strong enough - but they understand the game and their roles. To be clear, we don’t think Michael Collins punched Filipowski on purpose, but nonetheless, the Hokies gained a significant advantage. He’s not exactly a leaper, but he manages to get shots off when it doesn’t really look possible. He’s also a tough rebounder and a guy who can get a few baskets inside when it doesn’t look like he can. He blew by State’s defenders - and State is a really sound defensive team - like they were nothing. But he’s shooting his free throws well and still rebounding: he got 14 against the Pack. Now when he gets a board, he holds on to it. It’s the intensity he’s applying to defense. Not only did Duke beat a really good team in NC State, the Devils delivered the first undefeated home season since 2014.
