gives hard opens presence
Cedric was sensational. Not only the baskets he scored, but the presence he gives us. It's hard to overestimate how that opens things up for other people.
continues game good guys job night plan
Cedric just continues to get better every night out. Duke's game plan defensively made it very important for us to go in to him. Our guys did a good job of doing that and he responded with another really good game for us.
basketball game team tonight
Basketball is a game of runs. Our team responded well tonight when they made their runs. We bent, but did not break.

Nothing came easy today for either team. The difference sometimes is almost an illusion. Sometimes it's a possession here, it's a possession there.

On his 20th birthday? How about that! He's a good shooter -- if he's open at the top of the key he can take it.

The fact that they're 14-0 right now is a remarkable accomplishment. It's so difficult to get to the point that they're at.
additional expect needs
We do expect him to play this year. He just needs some additional time.
ball basket cutting instead kept performing toward
We didn't have crisp ball movement, weren't penetrating well, and we were cutting away from the basket instead of toward the basket. Those kind of things really kept us from performing well.
guys identify points special win
At different points in the game, you can point to different guys and identify special things they had to do if we were going to win the game.
consuming easy game invest tends
Absolutely, without any question. It's never easy to lose, you invest so much of yourself into every game and it tends to be so consuming that it's always difficult. It doesn't come easy for any of us.
