game lost played
At times, we've played a 38-minute game and lost by one or two. We have to go out and play a 40-minute game.
close execute experience learning
It's learning experience. Once you have all those close games, something clicks. You learn from it and you execute down the stretch.
ball guys score
I feel like it's the chemistry. We have a lot of guys who can score the ball and we play to each other's strengths. That's when we're at our best.
attack good hard knee red
Part of it was the knee and part of it (was) they did a good job. They had their zone, which was very hard for me to attack and get in the red zone.
easily felt great looking score win
Looking back on the (Boston College) game, we could have easily won. It felt great to go out and score 37 points, but overall, it was a disappointment, because we did not win the game.
known league monkey team
It's very important for us. We're known as a team around the league that doesn't play well on the road. We have to get that monkey off our backs.
focus knew offense scholars-and-scholarship tough
We just never got our offense going. We knew it was going to be tough and we didn't focus like we should have.
direction step took
We took a step in the right direction.
attack main patient
We just have to be patient and attack the gaps. The main thing is to get what we want.
hard learn tough
To play this hard and this well and still not win, that's tough to take. We'll try to learn from this and get better.
looking team type
We're looking to go on a run. We feel like we have the type of team that can get on a roll.
court great kinda love rush seconds
We've got great fans, I didn't know they would rush the court with 1.7 seconds left. That was kinda crazy! But I love our fans.
attacking instead jump pulled settled soon
We settled for a lot of jump shots. As soon as we got an opening, got a little daylight, we settled for jump shots. We pulled up instead of attacking the paint.
athletic duke problems team teams
We have a very athletic team and I feel like athletic teams give Duke problems.
