The Duke Blue Devils have had a decent season so far under first-year head coach Jon Scheyer. The Blue Devils are currently 17-6 overall and sport an 8-4 record in ACC conference play. They are also currently on a three-game win streak with wins against Georgia Tech, Wake Forest and most recently on Saturday against rival UNC. With the win against UNC, Scheyer made a little bit of ACC history tying UNC head coach Hubert Davis for most consecutive home wins for a first-year head coach as per CBS Sports. Not even his mentor Coach K was able to accomplish that feat.

The win pushed Duke's home win streak to 12 consecutive games going back to their season-opener on Nov. 7 against Jacksonville. Scheyer previously served for eight years under Coach K as an assistant coach including being promoted to associate head coach following Jeff Capel's departure to Pittsburgh in 2018. He was a member of the 2015 championship team.
