DURHAM, N.C. — In the aftermath, Jon Scheyer and Steve Forbes were in agreement on many things. That Duke’s guards were better. That Dereck Lively continues to impact games without scoring. That Wake Forest does things on offense to ask questions opposing defenses don’t want to answer.
But above all, this: While Wake Forest continues fighting through the toughest part of its schedule, Duke has taken huge strides since the Demon Deacons won in Winston-Salem early in the ACC schedule.
“It’s amazing how different we are than that time, when we played Wake,” Scheyer said. “Obviously they’re a lot better too, but for us we’ve grown a lot.”
