duke far game miami plenty season situation slip staff team year
Now we really have to get the Duke game and the Miami game. We've been in this situation plenty of times, so we're used to it. But this year we've got to get it done. We've come too far as a team and as a staff to let this season slip away like this.

We went in thinking we needed another win -- and probably another win after that.
It's the NIT, but I still want to play. I still want to win.

It's kind of like Christmas. You'll be waiting and waiting and waiting, but you try not to think about it.
direction feels headed
It just feels like we're headed in a better direction.

You're going to need those extra guys to step up. That's what a team's all about.
