It becomes very important that you have as many players as possible.
good help hopefully league looks ncaa schedule shot strength teams tournament wins year
Historically, if you get to .500 in league play, you're in a pretty good position. Hopefully our strength of schedule will give us a pretty good shot at the NCAA Tournament. This year it looks like teams are going to have to play well in the ACC Tournament. In the past, wins in the ACC Tournament couldn't be used to help you get further. Now, you have to play well there to help your chances.
good hopefully learned lesson pay remember second turned until
Hopefully we learned a good lesson tonight. They made us pay until we got it turned around. I'll just remember we didn't play well in the second half.
effort good overall
Hopefully, we can go from there. That was a very good effort overall for us. If we can play with that intensity, we'll be OK.
counting days next player
There are no off days for the next 16 games, counting Temple. It should be interesting. If you're a player or a coach, you like these next two months.
control difficult game good shots tempo
When they're on their game, they're very good because they play good defense, they can control the tempo of the game pretty well and when they make shots they're as difficult as anybody.
bring hang matter time tough win winning
We made some mistakes, but we were tough enough to hang in there. We got a big win to bring us back to 6-6 in the ACC. Winning is what you have to do this time of year. It doesn't matter how you do it or how it looks, but you have to win.
last pushed
He got pushed around a little last year, ... I don't think he'll get pushed around this year.
basketball bottom built conference everybody feeding four good leagues six strong top wins
There is no bottom feeding in our league. Everybody is really strong from top to bottom. They are all good basketball programs, and you don't have that four to six wins built into conference play like some leagues do.
help playing week
Playing well this week will help us. That's all you can do.
excellent half passing proud second team
Our passing was excellent in the second half and we really executed. I was really proud of our team play, and we have to play that way down the stretch.
people pounds realize
Sterling righted the ship. Without his contribution, I don't know how many we would have been down by at halftime. I don't think people realize that Sterling is 6-3, 200 pounds and, with his size, he can give people some trouble, especially on defense.
aware games proud starting teams ways
Starting games teams are more aware of him. We have to find ways to score, then the game comes to him. I was very proud of him. He was very mature.
credit duke handle handled
Give Duke credit for their defense. We couldn't handle it tonight. We've handled it before, but we couldn't handle it tonight.
