casual everybody sharper struggled trying weaknesses
I've got weaknesses and they're still there. One of the things I had struggled with was being casual with the ball. I'm trying to get sharper with that and get everybody on the same page.
confident couple far success
We've been there a couple of times this year, and we've had some success and we're pretty comfortable. It's not too far of a drive, and we feel pretty confident in that place with the set-up, the rims and the court, everything like that.
collapse fight kick played screens tried zone
We tried to penetrate and then we'd kick it back out, fight through their screens and try to let their zone collapse but they played well on defense.
matter ready tougher understand
We're going to be ready to play, no matter who we play. As you keep going along, it's going to get tougher and tougher. We understand that.
ball easy free game games runs teams turning
We didn't let them get back in the game by turning the ball over. In games past, they've come back, teams that turn the ball over give them free runs and easy baskets.
athletic boston college dangerous fourth game great knew ncaa physical pulled tournament
Boston College is a great team. They're going to be very dangerous in the NCAA Tournament and we knew that game was going to be physical because they're such an athletic team, really physical on the inside, and it's the kind of game back and fourth and we pulled it out in the end.
emphasis guys screen sets teams tough whoever wide
Sometimes guys put so much emphasis on J.J. that whoever sets the screen for him is going to be wide open. That can be a very tough play for teams to stop.
good guy proud
You always see these things in highlights-coming up, you know, 20 years ago this guy did this record. To be a part of it and to have him be such a good guy as well as teammate, it's something that he's really proud of and I know that we're really proud of him.
ball careless fight hard played throw value
We played so hard defensively to fight for that ball and then for us to be so careless and throw it away, we didn't value the ball.
defense enthusiasm good knew lacking last needed playing truth
We needed to get angry. We weren't playing well the last two games, and at times we were lacking enthusiasm. But we knew the truth about us and that we would could come out and play good defense and win.
great played
From what I hear, it's a great atmosphere, and they played us very well at home. We need to be strong.
past share sweet three
I don't think it's going to be all pretty and sweet like it has been the past three games. I've made my share of mistakes, but the thing that I want to do is get better.
basketball giving guard means obstacle point
Basketball has always been my first love. Second, I want to be the point guard at Duke. I don't want any obstacle to get in my way of that, even if that means giving up football.
crowds great lee natural sure telling
Lee is a natural leader. He's been great to me, just telling me crowds are going to say this, or they're going to try to do this. He just makes sure you're doing your thing.
