For the first time in a very long time there was a different face at the helm of the Duke Basketball vessel. Jon Scheyer coached his first game as the official head coach of Duke Mens Basketball with a cast of 11 new faces and new editions to the coaching staff. If there were nerves for the new coach, they weren’t apparent as he commanded, called plays, argued with refs and attained his first win as head coach.
Without 2 probable starters the Jacksonville Dolphins kept the game within reach for most of the first half. The Dolphins were able to grab 5 offensive rebounds in the first half leading to 4 second chance points.
