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.
against careful guards score
When you don't score against that zone, you've really got to be careful because once they get the ball, then their guards can go coast-to-coast against you.

We want to get going here, win the next two games and get some momentum before ACC play. We're excited to get back to playing and showing everybody what we can do.

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.

We've been preparing for this all year. I felt comfortable, and I thought we were good from the get-go.
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.
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.
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.

We thought we'd mix it up a little bit. Sometimes we throw water on him. Sometimes it's Gatorade. This time, we just let it be and gave him a hug and said congratulations. But we're very proud of what he's done.
brother caught older
I think we caught them off-guard a little bit. It was kind of like an older brother/younger brother kind of thing.
against bit games noticing scouting seen struggled teams
I think we will see a little bit more of that now. Some of the games we've struggled in, we've seen match-up zones. So teams are scouting us, noticing that. But I think the more we see, the better we'll get against it.
great played
From what I hear, it's a great atmosphere, and they played us very well at home. We need to be strong.
