I also believe that it was competitively motivated. |
I am not going to put a number on minutes on him. We are going to see how the flow goes and see how he is doing. This is it. We're not holding him for anything. If he can go, he will. |
I challenged Omar, Mike (Hall) and Regis at halftime and told them: 'You haven't scored yet. You guys have got to step up.' And we responded the way we should at home. I was very proud of the way we finished the game. |
I don't know if any other team is under the same amount of pressure. They can never relax. It's truly amazing. |
I don't know if it's fair or not fair, but I kind of like it. Hey, let's go with that. |
I don't know if it's fair or not, but I like it. It sounds good. |
I don't want to say people aren't paying attention to it, but you get the sense that it's not the most important thing on the agenda. That being said, I'm trying to tell my players to just enjoy the ride. |
I have some concerns, but that is about finishing plays. We had opportunities to finish plays. We just didn't -- for whatever reason. |
I hope we can hurry up and end this game, so we can hurry up and get home. Then I thought about the game and we were doing a lot of things that were uncharacteristic for us. I think the first three shots we took came after two passes and somebody taking a shot. That is not how we set a tone. |
I never felt like we were in control. We were missing plays that we normally make, and we weren't shooting it particularly well from the perimeter. |
I really felt like when we got the game manageable and had the opportunity to score in some situations, we just didn't execute. You have to be able to execute against a team like this. |
I see both of them back. A large part will depend on how they do in the draft camp. If they have a chance to be drafted they should follow their dreams. |
I think Duke's record is 32-3. They don't have to work out any kinks. |
I think if you wanted to, I guess you could have enough information to support that, if you wanted to take that side of it. |
I think we still have a way to go. I want to get to the point where we're playing at the level we need to play at. Because very shortly it's going to come down to one game, one play and that's my focus. We need to be at the level where its one play and your season is over. |
