We just turned up the heat. We put it in our minds that we were going to stop them, and that's what we did. |
We knew if we attacked their press before they'd attack us, we'd be all right. |
We knew that was one of their powers. We attacked it. Everybody said their press was going to get us, so we took that negative and turned it into a positive. |
We support our football team every game. We want them to win because they've got 'Duke' on their jersey so that's like our brother. |
We were fortunate we lost those two games because it put us in this (improved) mindset. This gives us the confidence that we can be the team we want to be coming into the (NCAA) tournament. |
We'll come into this game like a championship game because we're playing for first place. It will be competitive and will get us in the mindset for the tournament. |
We're a mature team. Today we showed our maturity. We never gave up. We're always finding a way to win, that's what we did. |
We're not worried about being undefeated and No. 1; it just hurts losing. We deserved it. We didn't play the way we were capable of playing, so we deserved this loss. |
What Coach would call it is, it's a Duke play. We needed a big play at that point, and we made one. I'm a guard, and I guess I was given a talent to see where the ball's going to come off the rim sometimes. That's what happened, and I just chased down the ball. |
When he misses it seems like the whole world is surprised, so that shows what kind of shooter he is. He's a warrior. He has had some tough games, but what he did today shows what type of player he is. He's not afraid to fail. He made us win. |
When I first heard about this situation, I was pretty upset. Today, it was the best news when I heard he's coming back to coach us. |
You can't imagine how mentally tough J.J. needs to be, with all that comes at him. |
You know J.J. is going to have a lot of guys coming to him, and sometimes, they just forget about me. It's great playing off him, and it's great playing with him. |
You've got to give it to BU. They have a great coach and a great team. But we got a win, and now we've got to get over it. |
