Duke HC Jon Scheyer Reacts to Pitt Celebration

Duke head coach Jon Scheyer didn't like how the Pitt Panthers celebrated an upset win at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

DURHAM -- The Pitt Panthers relished every second of their chance to celebrate on No. 7 Duke's home floor after notching a landmark victory at one of college basketball's most ancient and iconic venues. 

After the final buzzer sounded and their 80-76 upset win over the Blue Devils, their first victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium since 1979, the Panthers ran straight to the Duke student section, taunting fans and waving goodbye. Star forward Blake Hinson even climbed on a table in press row to drink in the jeers of Duke's fans and in doing so, made some of their opposition upset. 

"I want to apologize to our fans too, by the way," Duke head coach Jon Scheyer said. "What happened at the end, that can't happen and that's on us and that's unacceptable. So for us, we have to watch the game, learn from it, move on quickly - we go on the road in a day in a half - and learn from it because that's not okay with me, what happened."

Blue Devils star forward Kyle Filipowski also took issue with how the Panthers celebrated their landmark victory, calling it "disrespectful" in the locker room following the game and saying his team would remember it. 

It was a cathartic win for the Panthers, who had also been riding a four-game losing streak to the Blue Devils, with each of those losses defined by a lack of physicality. They not only won, but did it by giving Duke a taste of its own medicine. Pitt won be being the tougher team and regained the swagger that had been missing since the beginning of the season. 

Their excitement was understandable but that doesn't mean anyone on the Duke side had to like it.
