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.

We did a good job of proving ourselves today.
break coming fast good hard job key playing rookies running staying teammates
We're coming together. Playing hard is key for us and running the fast break is key for us. The rookies are coming in, the newcomers are coming in. We're doing a good job right now. My teammates are staying together, which is a good thing.
bench extra finishing free gave great job lift running spark
Byron did a great job of running the floor, finishing and making some free throws. His lift off the bench gave us that extra spark that we needed.
calm coach job last people satisfying season sit teach team watch williams year
It's so satisfying to know we could do things some people didn't think we could. In some ways, Coach Williams is doing a better job with this team than he did last season. I mean, last season he could sometimes sit back and watch the show. This year he is more calm and has had to teach more. And it has shown.
four job knocking people sending teams three
You've got teams sending three and four people at Tyler. Once he does get it out, we just have to do a better job of knocking down the shots.
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.

Big players show up in big times games. That's the type of player he's been all year.
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 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.
definitely fans mean satisfying wins
We've had some big wins on the road, and this was definitely satisfying for us -- to see their fans leave. Especially as mean as they are.
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.
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 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.
