coming couple kentucky playing row struggling time tough win won
Any time you play Kentucky it's never easy. They are coming off a big win and are playing with a lot of confidence. They've won a couple in a row and they know that we are struggling right now. But it is always tough playing Kentucky.
error free margin road small throws tough
It's tough to go on the road and not make your free throws and have unforced turnovers. Our margin of error is too small for that to happen.

The new (NIT) criteria, I don't know if anybody knows what it is. We'll have to wait and see.
check problem rumors
(The NCAA) has a right to check into any rumors they want. We've been here for 16 years and have never had a problem with anything.
four needed stepping three
I needed more than one. When they got three or four stepping up, I needed more than one.
coming game good knew lawrence obvious quite
It's very obvious that we're not quite as good without Lawrence Roberts. But we knew coming into this game that we didn't have him, so we can't make any excuse.

It seemed like every big play that had to be made down the stretch, Duke made those plays. That's why they've been so successful though the years.

They are one of the hottest teams in America. I don't think anybody expected them to be where they are right now.

We all understood how good George Mason is. For us to have a chance, it would take a special effort. We got a special effort.

Urgency is the next game, and the next game was Ole Miss. If it had been somebody else, would we have played that hard? I don't know. But tonight, there was a special effort, and we had to have a special effort.
guy responsibility
We had a guy who was dominant. The more responsibility we've put on (Rhodes), the more he's accepted.
beaten games guys help plays three winning
Those three guys have all made winning plays to help them win three games in a row. And those were games they could have all been beaten in.
difference past regroup sitting team
We've had to regroup in the past. The difference between that is we're having to regroup with a young team. It's not like we're sitting around with a team that has expectations, or a team that has experience. You're going to get better in some areas, but I know it's going to be hard.
