This is the most important message that Duke University basketball&#8217;s first-year head coach, John Scheer, has voiced to the media in the past few weeks. His Blues with his Devils (13-5, 4-3) have lost three in their last six games and been eliminated from league play.  AP finished in the top 25, moving him to 9th place in the conference standings.<\/p>\n<p>However, the away performance has been lackluster, and despite junior captain Jeremy Roach missing for the third straight time overall, Duke has coached K at Cameron Indoor Stadium, where his team are 9-0 undefeated. By defending the court, they ended a disastrous losing streak.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\"\/>\n<p>Duke, defeated 72-64 and current No. 19-man veteran Clemson Tigers last Saturday, featuring a freshman-heavy starting lineup regardless of Roach status, face another team with more experience I&#8217;m preparing to do it, but this time it&#8217;s home.<\/p>\n<p>At noon ET Saturday, the Blue Devils will host the No. 17 Miami Hurricanes, with freshman players recruiting a guard-laden primary cast that includes Zero.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p>With Cameron&#8217;s 500th consecutive sold-out crowd victory that dates back 32 years, Duke Basketball will knock on the rankings door once again.

We are working.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> Worst Shooting Duke Team in 63 Years?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Practice was great,&#8221; Shire said.  &#8220;We&#8217;ve really pursued it. We&#8217;ve continued to develop an offensive identity, and we&#8217;ve continued to build a defensive identity.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<p>Again, they could improve to 10-0 in Durham, which is impressive. But more importantly, you can escape the bitterness of losing, at least temporarily.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<p>&#8220;When you lose, you&#8217;re desperate to get a chance and play the next game,&#8221; Shire explained.  &#8220;We haven&#8217;t been able to play right now&#8230; it&#8217;s going to be a week. So for me, it makes me more hungry and angry. And I think for the team, they I think I&#8217;m feeling those things, too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>For daily Duke basketball content, keep an eye on Blue Devil Country.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMiVmh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnNpLmNvbS9jb2xsZWdlL2R1a2UvYmFza2V0YmFsbC9kdWtlLWJhc2tldGJhbGwtZGV2aWxzLWZlZWxpbmctaHVuZ3J5LWFuZ3J50gFbaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2kuY29tL2NvbGxlZ2UvZHVrZS8uYW1wL2Jhc2tldGJhbGwvZHVrZS1iYXNrZXRiYWxsLWRldmlscy1mZWVsaW5nLWh1bmdyeS1hbmdyeQ?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Losing must be unacceptable.
