The Duke’s coach has received Devastating news regarding a crucial player.

Duke entered senior night in Cameron Indoor Stadium as a five-point favorite but suffered an 84-79 loss to North Carolina, which benefitted from a career-high 31 points from fifth-year senior Cormac Ryan. Blue Devils coach Jon Scheyer apologized to the Cameron Crazies after the buzzer sounded and took responsibility for Saturday’s letdown during his postgame press conference.

“There’s a part of you that feels like you let them down,” Scheyer said after the game. “It was senior night. We probably got caught up in some of that stuff. We didn’t play like we’ve been playing. It hurts. It is disappointing… I just want to thank our students, our fans and everybody. I don’t care where you go; it’s the best environment in college basketball.”

Scheyer went in-depth on what went wrong against the Tar Heels and what his team will take away from the loss as they head into postseason play. He also touched on Jeremy Roach’s postgame comments and potential changes to senior night celebrations, among other things.
