We have to do a better job marketing college basketball and with our game operations. They have to understand that having a sixth man is important.

We had our opportunities. It is disappointing because we want to win those games and we had opportunities to finish the game off.

We had won six games in this league in large part because we played really good defense. We didn't have the same type of presence or assertiveness on Sunday.
easily game looks seconds won
We could have easily faltered right there. If you look at it, you've got the game won with 1.7 seconds left. They make a play and it looks like they've got all the momentum.
five four games
We've got to find a way. It's been this way for four to five games now.
full games good kept kids knew needed understand win
We kept stressing to our kids to understand where we're at. We didn't win some of those (previous) games on the road, but we knew we could play better. We were not at full strength. We knew there were still a lot of games to be played. But we needed a good win to give them that confidence.
bottom finish games mentally players stepped tough
We're not mentally tough enough to finish games right now, and that's the problem. Their players ... stepped up when the game was on the line. That's the bottom line.
five games home knew league left liked means obviously tough win
We have five games left in league play. We're 6-5 (in the ACC). Obviously it's a tough stretch, but we knew that going in. Surely, we would have liked to win our two home games, but we didn't. That means we just have to find a way on the road.
carolina enjoy focus game guys happy home next north protect schedule today win
I told the guys after the North Carolina game that this is a big win and I'm happy for you. But we've got to enjoy it today and focus on Clemson. That's the most important game on the schedule because it's the next game on the schedule, and you have to protect your home court.

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.
games good guys shoot win
We're not good enough to win many games when those guys shoot poorly.
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.
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.
