This time of year, people kind of expect Duke to still be playing. We are excited because we want to accomplish something for ourselves as our part of this storied program. |
Three or four. I asked our trainer if I could get a nose job at the end of the year. We'll see what happens. |
We can't meet the freshmen halfway. 'They have to come up to our level. … We're not going to wait for them. They've got to get on our train. |
We did that in pick-up one day, playing to seven by ones. I think we won five games to one, and they had a lucky win. We'll just leave it at that. |
We have to work on our shooting more than anything else. It's a big place so there could be a little wind or anything different to affect you. We'll get used to the court and the atmosphere and be ready to go (tonight). |
We want to play six more games and I think this helps along the way. Maybe we did prove to ourselves and to others (that we're back). I think there's a renewed spirit, a renewed energy. |
We wanted to send a message that we don't want to be messed with. |
We're a senior-laden team and we'll go up there and treat this as a business trip and come back here with a win. |
We're not going to play well all the time, but we find a way to win. I think we just need to fight together, just come out and play with more energy. And we can do that. |
We're not going to win big games playing that type of defense. We got yelled at a little bit at halftime, and we were able to come back out in the second half and take that and translate it into playing well. |
When you've got the quarter-of-a-billion-dollar man at the game, it's a good thing. |
Whenever you can be a part of something where the number one team and number two team are playing each other on national television, it is special. How many people get that opportunity? |
With it being your first Duke-North Carolina game, you can't help but get nervous. You don't know what to expect because this game is the highest level of competition at the college basketball level. We will see if everyone is ready for that. |
You always want to play well, but it was a tough game on the road, we got a big win and you want to take that into the next game but you don't want to dwell on it. |
You put your name on something, it becomes yours, you have some ownership in it. When something is yours, you don't let anybody take it from you. That's our home court out there, and nobody takes anything from us on our home court. |
