Jon Scheyer is still seeking his first Final Four after two seasons as Mike Krzyzewski’s replacement as coach at Duke. The Blue Devils went two rounds deeper than his debut season. They lost to Atlantic Coast Conference rival North Carolina State 76-64 in the South Region final.

The Blue Devils led 27-21 after a poor-shooting first half for both teams, and never could get their offensive game going while the Wolfpack heated up after halftime. “I’ve always used the motivation in my time at Duke from the things that happened,” said Scheyer, a player from 2007-10. “Some of the most heartbreaking moments in my career have happened at Duke. We didn’t go to a Sweet 16 until my junior year. We didn’t go to a Final Four and national championship until my senior year.”
“The program is right where it left off,” Roach said after scoring 13 points while freshman Jared McCain led the Blue Devils with 32. “People don’t know how hard his job is that you are taking over after the GOAT. That’s not easy work. Just give credit to him. He is always instilling confidence in us every day.”
