The Duke Blue Devils will take on TCU Saturday in the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament and head coach Jon Scheyer is hopeful he’ll have center Pat Ngongba back when they do.
“I’m hopeful he’s going to be available for tomorrow,” Scheyer said during his press conference Friday afternoon. “We’ll see what he can do in practice today and if all goes well…we’ll see him back in there.”
Scheyer said the 6’11 sophomore, who has been sidelined since the Blue Devils’ season finale against UNC, was “itching” to play in Thursday’s game against Siena College, but he hadn’t participated in practice.
