believes confidence good knew particular shooter
That's Guillermo's guy. He's got confidence in him. Denis has been a streaky shooter this year, but one thing about him is that he's got a lot of toughness. He believes he can make plays, which can be good and bad. In that particular play, I knew he was going to shoot it. That's just the way Denis plays, he was going to take the shot.
duke needed played stretch
Duke played well down the stretch when they needed to, and J.J. made all the big plays.
ability finally game seven shows starting takes together
Not having him the first seven ballgames, it showed. And it shows now when he's out of the game in our ability to get into the offense. It just takes a little time. I think we're finally starting to get together a little bit.
It's a long season. That was one loss. We just have to get one back on the road.
against air bad consistent count games handful kid list north played playing sit tells together top virginia
It's funny, I can sit here and tell you the handful of games he didn't play well, and that tells you he's been consistent because we count on him playing well all the time. He's played bad against Air Force, Virginia and North Carolina. When you can put together a list off the top of your head, you know a kid has been steady.
carolina guys halftime remain run stay
I told our guys at halftime that Carolina was going to make a run and that we had to stay together, remain focused.
huge program recruiting standpoint substitute
It would be huge for this program. If we get to New York, what it does for our program from a recruiting standpoint and exposure, there's no substitute for that.
difference free game good guys hard high team terms
They're an outstanding team and J.J. is terrific. We executed our game plan. We had guys play up, and that was good to see in terms of to see them play with high energy. The difference in the game? We make one three, they make 13 threes. We make 10 free throws, they make 29.... When you look at those two numbers, it's hard to win.
five great guys shooting
They're a great shooting team. They put five guys out there that can make threes.
everybody great open shooting shots throw
They're a great shooting team. A lot of those shots were contested. They're going to find the open man, and then everybody they throw it to can make the shot.
That's a bang-bang play. I'm not getting into that.
everybody excited host playing
Everybody is excited that we get to keep playing and will host our first-ever NIT game.
came defense good played second
They came out on fire. We played real good defense in the second part of the first half.
They were very, very determined, and that was the difference.
