best control game hitting shooting tried
We tried to take away what they do best and that is shooting 3's. They can really control a game if they are hitting them and take you out of your flow.
beginning best guards hurt knocking open presence rotation shots
At the beginning of the game, it was just me on him. At times, we would double, and our rotation wasn't the best it should be. Their guards were getting open shots and knocking them down. That hurt us just by his presence in there.
best head nerve player stay
It was nerve racking. But at the same time, you just want to go out and do the best that you can. For the most part, just try to stay the same player that you've been all year. Don't try to do anything over your head or try to do anything spectacular.
best national second winning
The feeling's just great. It's only second best to winning the national championship.
break definitely emerging gives guys last leaders looking shook step stretch
Other guys started talking, and I just shook my head. That kind of gives me a break sometimes, when other guys step up and say things and aren't just looking at me. Other leaders are emerging on this team, and that's something we're definitely going to need, especially going down this last little stretch that we have.
players type
Big players show up in big times games. That's the type of player he's been all year.
against capable game great hopefully job ourselves proving today
We did a great job of proving ourselves today against a very capable team. Hopefully, we won't be on the (NCAA) fence. But if we are, hopefully this will be a game they look at.
good job ourselves proving
We did a good job of proving ourselves today.
experience glad people
Man, it was a blast. I'm glad I was here for it. I got to experience it, and a lot of people don't.
confidence drop needed virginia
I wouldn't say we were desperate, but it was very much needed for us. Especially after the confidence drop that we had after the Virginia game.
continue grow last team work
I don't know. For the most part, we've just got to continue doing what we do and doing what we've been doing for the last part of this season. We've got to continue to grow as a team and as individuals to make everything continue to work the way it's been working.
continue family guess half
My father's half of the family is from Maryland, so I guess that's the part that's in me. I continue to play well up here.
cowboy gets ridden riding
Man, he gets ridden more than a cowboy riding his horse.
afford against fresh people running stop team
When you get tired, especially in this game, get yourself out of there so we can have fresh people in at all times so we won't have to stop running or take a play off on defense. Against a team like Duke, you can't afford that.
