I don't even know why I'm sitting here in fifth place in the ACC having to defend anything. I'm really confused about that. Matter of fact, I think we need six or seven teams. |
I don't even know why we're having that discussion. I think we're definitely one of the best 64 teams in the country. We play in a league where every night you have to play your best basketball or you will get your hat handed to you. I think we've earned the right to be one of top 64 teams. |
I don't have any say in the criteria that's already been determined and me making speculations right now would be just that, speculations. What we have to do is maintain hope, and hope that we've done enough during the season to go the NCAA tournament. Past that, there's not a whole lot more we can say. |
I don't know when it happened. But when I asked him in the second half, he said he couldn't go. These are things that happen to a team, but you have to have other guys step up. |
I don't know whether you say he's unstoppable, but he is playing at a level that makes him one of the top one or two players in the country. The thing that you respect him for is he's gotten better every year. |
I don't necessarily think that size has anything to do with rebounding. I think (it's) desire, willingness to be consistent with the fundamentals of rebounding. |
I feel like he has as much or more potential than anybody on this team. |
I guess all things have to come to an end. |
I have to look at the bright side of it. This is part of the development process. |
I hope this was a sign of us growing up. We definitely needed this victory. |
I just thought our players found a way to bounce back from the disappointment. We haven't spent time dwelling on anything negative. Now we're in the NIT and we have to go about handling our business. |
I know in my 30 years of coaching I have never heard of a player getting injured under any circumstances in a celebration after a game - not at a basketball game. Maybe you guys have, but I haven't. |
I saw a very determined, focused look in his eye that we are going to get this done. |
I saw quickness, speed and intensity that separated him from other kids on the floor. He was from a small town, and even though he was very well-known in his area, maybe he hadn't gotten the exposure as other people. We were fortunate to have contacted him at the right time. I felt we were a good match for each other. |
I think Duke is going to play the same kind of defensive system that they have played in the past and have played against everyone else. They don't deviate very much. |
