Head coach Jon Scheyer just keeps on winning. Duke basketball made quick work of Alabama in the Elite Eight, jumping out to a big early lead and never looking back in an 85-65 triumph. As a result, the Blue Devils are moving on to another Final Four.

In the process, Scheyer joins Hubert Davis and Dick Harp on a very exclusive list. Scheyer is the third head coach in NCAA history to make the Final Four as a player and as a head coach with the same team, and he's the eighth person overall to make the Final Four as both a player and coach.

Funny enough, Scheyer was a major part of the 2010 Blue Devils' championship win. He was a marksman from 3-point range, in addition to being a good playmaker.

Fast forward 15 years, and he is heading back as a head coach. While Cooper Flagg has been instrumental to their success, credit should go to Scheyer as well.

After Flagg sprained his ankle in the ACC Tournament, he put on a coaching masterclass. Also, guys like Kon Knueppel, Khaman Maluach and Tyrese Proctor have stepped up tremendously.

Jon Scheyer makes Duke basketball history

As a result, Duke basketball secured yet another ACC regular season and conference championship. The Blue Devils went into the NCAA Tournament with a full head of steam and have looked like the clear title favorite throughout so far.

Three of Duke's four tournament wins have been by double digits, with the seven-point victory over Arizona the lone exception. Now, Scheyer and his squad will have a bit of time to celebrate.

The Blue Devils will take on the winner of Tennessee and Houston in the Final Four. Whoever wins that game, it will be a defensive slugfest.

At the end of the day, Scheyer can continue to make more history with a Final Four win. After that, the national championship will be in his sights.

If the Blue Devils hoist the trophy, it can be the catalyst for the official beginning of potentially another dynasty. It might be too early to tell, but Duke's dominance shouldn't be undervalued.

Scheyer has had a historic season for himself and can keep the momentum going, regardless of who they play in the Final Four.
