Duke coach Jon Scheyer hails Caleb Foster and Maliq Brown for stepping up amid Cooper Flagg's benching

Duke coach Jon Scheyer praised Caleb Foster and Maliq Brown for stepping up after Cooper Flagg was hobbled with foul trouble that led to his premature benching.

"Each game this year somebody else has stepped up. It's been like we have a team where all 11 scholarship players that we've recruited to play have won us games in different moments," Scheyer said (0:42)

"So for Caleb and he doesn't play last game and he came back with a big time attitude really attacked practice the last couple days. The pressure was bothering us and because of how he responded and practice, I just had a lot of confidence to put him in," he added (1:00).

Scheyer then hailed Brown for his fearless attitude in shooting 3-pointers when he's open. He felt he's blessed with a versatile team that anyone could step up when called to play. Foster played nine minutes and contributed two points, one rebound, one assist and one block.

Duke will now await its opponent in the ACC Tournament which starts on Tuesday in Charlotte. The Blue Devils will begin play as the no. 1 seed in Thursday's quarterfinals.
