We've got to come out and play hard and get wins where we can.
We feel like we can not just get there to the finals. We feel like we can get there and win it.
We don't want to go to the NIT. But if we do, we'll go and try to win that, too. We will try to win every game, get to play more games and have fun.
Our first priority is to go out and win here. We want to finish up the regular season on a good note, get that second seed and get ready for the tournament.
Everybody says that it takes a loss to lose and I think it did take a loss for us to lose in a sense. But overall, when we win games here at Duke, and we don't play well, we might as well have lost the game.
A conference tournament is always fun. You have all the teams there at one time. And the good thing this year is that all the teams get along good. We will enjoy the atmosphere. Our first goal is to win Saturday and clinch the second seed. We want to at least get to the finals of the conference tournament. We've been there the last two years.
Of course we want to win the tournament. We've got two bad losses and no key wins. If we beat UAB again, get to the finals and lose ... maybe ... hopefully, they will consider us over them. It's in our hands.
No way will we take anyone for granted. This team has come in every day of the season the same way -- win or lose. We just try to go out to the next practice and focus on the next team.
These games are going to be really crucial. It looks like we'll be fighting for the top spot in the division, and maybe the conference, so these games are going to be key for us. We have to try to get as many wins as possible.
We're glad we have another chance to play. We think we should have gotten a little higher seed. We didn't. We just have to go out and enjoy it and have fun. Maybe this is finally a chance for us to get a little respect.
Every day it seems like it's changing. Everybody seems to be checking the standings a little closer. The next day, we're playing a totally different team. But it's a race and we want to make sure that we're taking care of business on our side.
You cannot fix the problem of families fleeing the city by taxing them more.
We've played well on the road all year. We've been playing really well on the road all year. I don't think we're going to panic.
UAB came out pressing us, and we spent a lot of time in practice on our press breaker. The first time we took care of the basketball. That's what we have to do this time.
