Duke's latest defeat continued to expose some hard truths about Jon Scheyer’s first team, and with the ACC Tournament and March Madness quickly approaching, the 35-year-old rookie coach is running out of time.

They came out swinging against the Hokies, scoring the game’s first seven points, but on-ball turnovers and an inability to close out halves cost them again.

The accidental punch he took from Virginia Tech’s MJ Collins as Collins celebrated his eventual game-winning jumper with 13.6 seconds left? Yeah,“Yeah, he just elbowed me right in my Adam’s apple, and I couldn’t breathe for a minute,” Filipowski said postgame. “So, I just needed to throw up and I was good.”

“It’s about navigating the game, it’s not about going into panic mode,” Scheyer said earlier this month after Duke’s embarrassing 84-60 loss to NC State in Raleigh. “It’s about winning the next possession and possession after that. That’s where my mind goes.”

Context, which this lacks, is so important. Filipowski needs to call Grayson Allen and have him teach him his groin punch/kicking technique. Usually it's Duke with the dirty tactics.
