early experience guys toll took toward year
That took its toll toward the end of the season. This year we have a lot more guys to give us depth. If we give these guys experience early on, they'll be there for us later.
consistent defense defensive grasp intensity players trying
Defense is something that we need to be more consistent on and something that we're still working on. Some players are still young and they're trying to grasp the intensity on the defensive end.
came mature maturity
I think we responded well. We came out here as a mature team.
closer elbow saw throw tried
I saw him throw the elbow the first time, so I tried to go in a little closer to see if he'd do it again. He did it again.
games league rest special win
Hopefully, we can win out the rest of the league games and end with a special ACC season.
hopefully pressure standing
Fortunately I think we're standing up to the pressure right now. Hopefully we can keep on doing what we're doing for the remainder of the year.
against consistent court hope plays swagger
He has a little more of a swagger when he plays against me. I hope that he can become more consistent and take that to the court against whomever he is playing.
came few missed second shots
He missed a few shots early, but he came up big for us in the second half. When you miss shots, you have to keep shooting. He missed a lot of shots that usually go in. In the end, it was the same old J.J.
led matters paths people
People have different paths in life. Quincy's led him to a different place. What matters is how you play.
allowing close couple credit guards help man past
Some of the guards were allowing their man to get past them to help me out with the triple-double because I've been close a couple of times. So I've got to give credit to my guards, I guess.
ahead basketball block bright free future gave good momentum potential rolling taking throws
That block gave us a lot of confidence. We got rolling from there, making our free throws and taking our time. That was a momentum changer. (Cedric)'s a good basketball player. I see a lot of potential in him. He has a bright future ahead of him.
felt great helping quit upside worked
Once I quit helping so much, I was able to play him more one-on-one. That worked better. I felt he was a great player. I see a lot of upside for him.
business duke unfinished
I had a lot of unfinished business here at Duke University.
great help last line teammates trust
If I see my teammates getting beat, they can trust that I'm there for a last line of defense. Being there to help them out is a great feeling.
