DURHAM, N.C. — The pass flew over Ryan Young’s head with feet to spare, not an insignificant margin considering Duke’s Northwestern transfer stands 6-foot-10. Jon Scheyer took a step forward with his arms out. His palms were downward, facing the floor.
Settle down.
That was an easy point to make with Duke up 20 on Jacksonville in the second half, but Scheyer’s demeanor was no different when Jacksonville was within single digits in the first half, or the foul count was piling up against Duke in the early going. He called plays. He conversed quietly with his coaches. He looked like he’d been doing this a lot longer than one night.
