good guys next production program step
For us to be good and take the next step in our program those guys have got to be better, and we've got to have production out of those guys.
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.
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.
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.
changes step
In the past, the NIT just kind of put (the field) together. There was no flow. These changes are a step in the direction. To me this makes the NIT a much better tournament.

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.

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 needed played stretch
Duke played well down the stretch when they needed to, and J.J. made all the big plays.
effort guys hope rest
Our effort was there, and that's all you can hope for is if our guys will have that kind of energy, that kind of effort the rest of the year. You give yourself a chance, and that's what you want.
basketball good
We are going to have a good basketball team. We are going to be fine.
finish game games win
We had our opportunities. It is disappointing because we want to win those games and we had opportunities to finish the game off.
