Duke seems to be more than satisfied with the job head coach Jon Scheyer did since taking over the Blue Devils basketball program from Hall of Famer Mike Krzyzewski. The university announced on Saturday that Scheyer received a new six-year extension that will keep him with the Blue Devils through the 2028-2029 college season.

Scheyer originally inked a five-year contract when he stepped in for Krzyzewski ahead of the 2022-23 season. He led the Blue Devils to a 27-9 record, an ACC Tournament win, and second round of the NCAA Tournament in his first year in charge.

“Jon Scheyer has seamlessly continued the championship culture in Duke Basketball with his relentless energy, passion, and attention to detail,” said Duke University Director of Athletics Nina King in a statement. “He and his staff hold their team to the highest standard … Our program is in tremendous hands well into the future, and I could not be more excited to have Jon lead the way.”

Jon Scheyer played for the Blue Devils between 2006 and 2010, being part of the team that was crowned NCAA champions in 2010. After a brief professional career, which saw him play with Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv and Spain’s Gran Canaria, Scheyer returned to Duke in 2014 in the role of an assistant. He was promoted to associate head coach in 2018 before being selected as Krzyzewski’s successor after the famed coach retired following the 2021-22 season.

The Duke Blue Devils, the #1 ranked college basketball team in the nation, fell at the hands of tiny Stephen F. Austin in a stunning upset on Tuesday night.

Stephen F. Austin shocked everyone by taking the game to overtime, going toe to toe with the top-rated team in the country and one of the most powerful programs in the country.

After ending regulation tied 81-81, the Lumberjacks held Duke to only two points in the extra five minutes. It was a defensive battle, and Stephen F. Austin managed to steal the ball in the final seconds and drive towards the other basket with a chance to win the game.

Nathan Bain took the ball to the other end of the court and laid in the ball as time expired, sending Cameron Indoor Arena into a state of shock as he led his team to the biggest win in program history.

Senior guard Kevon Harris led SFA with 26 points in a big-time performance. Duke center Vernon Carey Jr.’s 20 point, 11 rebound, and 7 block performance led the Blue Devils, but it wasn’t enough to avoid the huge loss.

The loss was Duke’s first against a non-conference opponent at home in 150 games.
