Jon Scheyer Leads Duke to Final Four in Third Season

Facing Houston's top-ranked defense, Scheyer's Duke squad, led by freshman star Cooper Flagg, prepares for a pivotal semifinal in San Antonio.

Jon Scheyer has successfully transitioned Duke's program from Mike Krzyzewski's era, guiding the team to the Final Four in just his third year as head coach.
Duke's young roster, featuring three standout freshmen including national player of the year Cooper Flagg, has been integral to the team's success.
The semifinal against Houston pits Duke's top-ranked offense against the nation's best defense, marking the first such matchup in NCAA history as per KenPom metrics.
Scheyer, the youngest coach in this year's Final Four, has earned praise for his leadership, adaptability, and ability to recruit top-tier talent in the evolving college basketball landscape.
Mike Krzyzewski has intentionally stepped back to allow Scheyer to establish his own leadership, while maintaining a supportive role as a mentor.
