People are going to be looking carefully at Jon Scheyer as he grows into his role as Mike Krzyzewski’s successor at Duke but one thing that may not be getting enough attention is his schedule building. Consider:

Game #1 was against Jacksonville, a smart and experienced team that forced Duke’s young stars to start growing up.

Game #2 was against USC Upstate, which was essentially a tuneup for Kansas.

Game #3 was against KU, the defending national champs. It was a winnable game, but Duke was not yet ready to take that step.

And Game #4 was against Delaware, a mature and very competent team that can really pressure a defense.
