BREAKING: Jon Scheyer Sends Clear Message To Fans That Got Them Buzzing! Just Before NCAA Tournament
Top-ranked Duke has been the hottest team in college basketball over the past couple of months. The Blue Devils secured 28 regular-season wins—marking their first such milestone since 2014—before adding three more victories to claim the ACC Tournament title with a win over Louisville on Saturday night.
They achieved this despite being without standout freshman Cooper Flagg, who was sidelined with an ankle sprain. As the team shifts its focus to the NCAA Tournament, the hope is that Flagg will be ready to return by the first round on Thursday or Friday.
Following the championship win, third-year head coach Jon Scheyer made it clear that Duke isn’t satisfied just yet.
“We got more to do,” Scheyer said after celebrating with his team.

Duke overtook Auburn for the No. 1 spot in the final AP Poll, despite Auburn holding the top position for most of the season. While both teams are expected to earn No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament, the battle for the overall No. 1 seed remains significant, as it often comes with a more favorable regional path.
Since taking over for legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski in 2022, Scheyer has proven to be an ideal successor. With Duke surging at the perfect time, they appear to be one of the toughest teams to beat as March Madness approaches.
