Jon Scheyer still seeking Duke’s 1st Final Four after Mike Krzyzewski, likes program’s direction

Associated Press  

DALLAS — Duke coach Jon Scheyer and point guard Jeremy Roach hung on to each other a few seconds longer while embracing on the sideline when it was clear the Blue Devils were going to fall short of the Final Four. The one Final Four appearance in that span was Krzyzewski’s final season, when the Blue Devils lost to rival North Carolina in the national semifinals. We didn’t go to a Final Four and national championship until my senior year.” Duke missed the tournament when Roach was a freshman, the COVID-19-shortened 2020-21 season. He is always instilling confidence in us every day.” After two years, Scheyer isn’t even close to the longest spell between trips to the Final Four under Krzyzewski, who won five national championships. We’re just 20 minutes away from going to a Final Four in our second year.” ___ AP March Madness bracket: https://apnews.com/hub/ncaa-mens-bracket and coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/march-madness
