basketball guys physically played soft team tougher virginia
I thought we were a soft basketball team tonight. Virginia was physically tougher than we were. When we had guys take the ball out of our hands, well, that's toughness. And that No. 11 kid, he played hard.
duke fact game great held high knew line percentage player players pleased
My thing with Duke is they are a high percentage team, so I'm real pleased with the fact that we held them to 41 percent shooting. But J.J. is a great player and when the game is on the line your players have to make plays. He knew he was going to try to make a play and he did.

Our kids have just had some poise and played with some savvy. If you've got good guards, you've got a chance, and our guard play has been really good and of late it's been excellent. ... The biggest thing is we're just starting to play with a lot of savvy.
bit great guard guys might post shoot step
Palacios and Padgett can step out and shoot the ball. They have great low-post moves. Our post guys might have to come out and guard a little bit more away from the basket.

His two years here he was as exciting a player as I've been around. He's living a dream right now.
ball focus lost score shoot shots tank tough
We lost our focus a little and they got some shooters loose, and they made shots to their credit. Then when we have some opportunities to score we didn't shoot the ball well. We don't have enough in the tank when Guillermo doesn't score and Anthony doesn't have some kind of night. It's going to be tough for us.
consistent flow player playing stuff taken tremendous
He's playing at an unbelievable level. He's taken a lot of stuff about not playing big in big games, but he's our most consistent player this season. He's in a tremendous flow right now.
He just didn't have it. He was out of it most of the night.
