Just like he is for the Cameron Crazies at Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke head coach Jon Scheyer was just as appreciative for the fans that watched from home nearly 3,000 miles away on Wednesday night and into Thursday morning.
The No. 6 Blue Devils handled Cal 71-56 in a cross-country road ACC game that tipped late Wednesday night, but didn't end until Thursday morning on the East Coast, where most Duke fans were trying to keep their eyes open to watch until the score went final.
