Duke, ranked No. 3 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, looks to start the 2nd season under coach John Scheyer in dominant fashion over Dartmouth on Monday night in Durham. The Blue Devils won the ACC Tournament championship and finished 27-9 — a solid rookie season for a coach having to follow in the footsteps of the legendary Mike Krzyzewski.
The Blue Devils were picked to finish 1st in the ACC in the league's preseason poll. Kyle Filipowski, Duke’s leader in points (15.1) and rebounds (8.9) last season, was voted the ACC preseason player of the year.
It is rare to see a Duke team with so much experience returning to the court. They bring back G Jeremy Roach who averaged 13.6 points and 3.1 assists per game last season and G Tyrese Proctor (9.4 PPG) and F Mark Mitchell (9.1). We should also see big contributions from celebrated freshmen G Jared McCain and G Caleb Foster as well.
