(My) team could get a lot better, though, and that's what's exciting. |
A kid that you don't hear a lot about, he gets it done on the court. He's a tough kid, understands how to play. When he goes for a rebound, he's a man. |
Amazing thing is he tipped it in with his left hand, and it's broken. |
As he's gotten healthy, he's gotten better and better. He's got a great feel for the game. He can do a lot more things than he's doing right now. As he gets older, gains maturity in this program, he's going to be a really good player in this league. |
Brandon can be as good as he wants to be. Had he been a little better in Chicago (NBA pre-draft camp), he wouldn't be here. He's a pro. There's a reason he was in Chicago. Guys that athletic and guys that long usually aren't three-point shooters. But there's no area he's not good at. |
Brandon Rush is not just one of the best freshmen in the league, he's one of the best players. |
But we're a little bit different team than we were against Missouri and Nebraska. There's no secret that our guards are playing a lot better now that we have them all. |
Colorado must be trying to figure out how much they want to extend it by. That's the only reason he wouldn't have an extension. |
Competing, toughness, that area of the game – those are the things that we'll be questioning ourselves on as we head into the off-season. |
Confidence comes through in your swagger. Our program has always had a swagger, regardless of where we play. This team is just now starting to get it. |
Confidence is like a drug. Right now, we're playing with a lot of it. |
D.J. has been at every practice. He's our hardest worker. There's not a day gone by where we haven't called each other. He was the most important recruit. |
Duke is the premier basketball program in the nation. For us, this is a great opportunity, and to me, it is an honor to go to Duke and play. Playing Duke will be a great experience for our kids and will certainly prepare us for the wars we are going to have to play in the Big Ten. |
Every workout we've had D.J. has been there. He hasn't missed one thing. And he's been great. I love his attitude and his work ethic. He's working hard in the weight room, and he's working hard on the court. |
For our team and what we need right now, I'm not sure I could have scripted it any better. It would have been nice to win by 25, but I don't think there's a team in America that could beat (Oral Roberts) by 25. |
