best bothered country defense defensive game good great lead likes national scoring team wins
The team that wins the national championship doesn't usually lead the country in defensive scoring average. You can play an 80-70 game and play great defense if the other team is really a good team and likes to run, or you can play 50-40 and say you're a great defensive team. That never bothered me. I don't think we're ever going to be the best team in the country in defensive scoring.
bottom built feeding four games leagues season six wins
There's no bottom feeding in our league. Everybody's really strong. You don't have that four or six wins built in like some leagues do. Hopefully, everyone will look into how we did in pre-conference season and the competitiveness of the games now.
game goes hang lead lull momentum win
We (had) a little lull there and they got some momentum. When you have momentum at home, that lead goes quick, and it really went quick. For us to hang on like that and win the game - that was big.
felt game nobody players says time winning
Winning is what you have to do this time of year. Nobody says how you have to do it or how it looks, so that's what I was about today. I was going to try to win that game somehow, and the players felt the same way.
believes four games situation sure team win
It's tough. Physically, it's got to be tough. But if you do get in that situation where you have to play (Thursday), I'm sure every team believes they can play four games and win the thing.
game next win
You think about (the tournament). But it doesn't matter, you have to win the next game.
good guys job rewarded tough win wins year
It's a tough thing because I thought our guys did a good job this year to win 19 games. A lot of times 19 wins are rewarded by going to the NCAA.
couple games great last tests time win year
It's a great time of the year for all of the teams. To see how we finish, how many games we can win in the last couple of weeks, it really tests your team.
situation win
We've been in the situation before where we've had to win some games.
contest expect good hopefully road scoring teams win year
We're like a lot of teams this year on the road, and hopefully we'll have a good performance. A lot of that comes from your defense. You can't get into a scoring contest on the road and expect to win very often. Most teams play better offensively at home.
beat good teams win
You don't gloat about it. You just feel good because you beat a good program. They never let you win. You have to win the game. Some teams give it to you once in a while ? not Duke.
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.
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.
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.
