Duke basketball fans were disappointed, but head coach Jon Scheyer was upbeat. “I feel more optimistic tonight losing than I did even before, because you find out in this game the character of your team, the heart that they have. And this team has got a lot of heart,” Scheyer said. He’s a known competitor and hates losing. So why this answer after Duke’s 77-72 loss to Kentucky in November?
