assistant hard harris head kids knew last league playing terms win year
Last year was our first year in the league and my first year in the league as a head coach. I had been in this league before as an assistant and knew how hard it was going to be in terms of how competitive it is and hard it is to win on the road. I think our kids are better at it after going through it one time. We're more experienced and now that we have Anthony Harris back, I think we're playing better basketball.
ball came gave hard kids last lose tight tough worked
It's been something our kids have really worked hard at. When you lose tight ball games, tough ball games. ... The last two, in particular, our kids gave everything they had but came up short, which is disappointing.
gave last lead missed next row second stepped three
Anthony Harris' three was really huge. We had a timeout and he had missed his last two or three in a row and I told him, 'You're going to make the next one.' He stepped up and I think the three he made gave us the lead in the second half. Once he made that three I don't think we gave up the lead.
good guards last league point
The point guards were so good in this league last year. It was incredible.

He went against the grain and made a nice play. We wanted him to take the last shot.
avoided ball drove jumping knows last past senior wants
He drove the ball in the past but he avoided the contact. Now, he's jumping through the contact. He's confident. He's a senior that wants to win, that knows this is his last go-around and he's going at it with a lot of passion.
due last lose pressure shooting
I don't know if he's shooting as well as he did last year, but he's due to have one of those games. We can't lose him because he's going to put a lot of pressure on us.
bumped concern conscious couple definitely floor great job last tremendous
He's on a roll. He's a tremendous concern of ours. His play has definitely bumped up in the last couple of games, and we've got to do a great job on him. ... You have to be conscious of where he's at on the floor at all times because he's got tremendous anticipation.
babies baby gotta hopefully ncaa next playing
We just gotta take baby steps. Hopefully we'll be playing in the NCAA next year.
found good nights shoot win
We weren't good from deep, but we found a way to win and that's key. You're going to have nights when you don't shoot as well.

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.
bad ball chance cut harris points three took
We had the ball with a chance to cut it to three or two points but Harris took a bad shot. That was a big turnaround.
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.

Duke played well down the stretch when they needed to, and J.J. made all the big plays.
