It was an odd exchange, particularly considering we were seated in the Bill Brill Media Room, where Duke basketball press events are routinely staged.
Boston College coach Earl Grant already had come and gone, remarking on the Duke’s 16-point victory, fueled by a zone press that sped up the game and the young Blue Devils’s .528 field goal shooting.
Then Jon Scheyer came to the podium a few strides from the home team locker room.
Scheyer shared a few comments about his team getting its first ACC win of the season, not to mention of his career.
