Here’s all you need to know: Jon Scheyer scored 21 points in 75 seconds in front of 3,990 fans. One of them just happened to be Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski. Jon’s team lost, but Scheyer finished the game with 52 points and left to a standing ovation from the opposing fans. Well deserved.

We caught up with Irving last night and asked him the tough, straightforward questions about his big visit, which included a matchup against former Duke great Jason Williams. MORE >
