GREENVILLE, S.C. — Duke coach Jon Scheyer said he was outcoached and outprepared by Siena’s Gerry McNamara on Thursday, as his top-seeded Blue Devils needed a late rally to overcome a double-digit deficit and advance to the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Duke became the first No. 1 seed to trail by double digits (11 points) to a 16-seed at the half, according to ESPN Insights, but the Blue Devils came out with a renewed focus after the break and wore down the outmanned Saints 71-65.
