Coach Jon Scheyer Earns 100th Win in Duke Victory Over Lipscomb

DURHAM, N.C. – Duke men’s basketball head coach Jon Scheyer tallied his 100th career victory, becoming the fastest ACC head coach to the century mark, with Duke’s 97-73 win over Lipscomb on Tuesday, Dec. 16. Scheyer reached 100 career wins in just his 122nd game at the helm of the program, surpassing Duke’s Vic Bubas, who held the previous conference record of doing so in 128 games.

After entering halftime with just a three-point advantage, the Blue Devils (11-0) outscored the Bisons, 49-28, in the second frame to secure the 24-point win. Cameron Boozer led the way for Duke with a 26-point, 13-rebound double-double, while Patrick Ngongba II posted his first career double-double, with 10 points and 11 boards.

Three other Blue Devils scored in double-figures, with Isaiah Evans adding 16 and the duo of Maliq Brown and Darren Harris both scoring 11. Brown finished one rebound shy of a double-double, grabbing a season-best nine caroms, and Evans’ effort was fueled by a game-high four three-pointers.

Duke finished with a +34 margin on the glass, out-rebounding Lipscomb, 55-21. The Blue Devils pulled in 20 offensive rebounds and allowed just three offensive boards by the Bisons, finishing with a 26-0 advantage in second-chance points.

No. 3 Duke (11-0) returns to Madison Square Garden in New York City for a top-20 clash against No. 19 Texas Tech (8-3) at 8 pm.
