He had shots. But they were making sure every shot was a contested shot.
ball beat best effort game heck herb high league played playing second shot state team
I didn't think we played that poorly, I just think State played really well. They shot the ball tremendously that day and they were playing at a high level. I told Herb after the game that he had a heck of a team. I think they are the second best team in the league right now. It will take a yeoman's effort for us to beat them.
good job missed shoot shots
I think they did a good job defensively, but we just didn't shoot that well. Some of the shots were contested, but we missed a lot of wide-open shots.
focus good half lost played players second shots
In the first half we played well defensively and that was the key. I thought, in the second half, we lost focus a little defensively. In the second half, they got some uncontested shots. They're good players and they're going to make uncontested shots if you give them to them.
everybody great open shooting shots throw
They're a great shooting team. A lot of those shots were contested. They're going to find the open man, and then everybody they throw it to can make the shot.
believes confidence good knew particular shooter
That's Guillermo's guy. He's got confidence in him. Denis has been a streaky shooter this year, but one thing about him is that he's got a lot of toughness. He believes he can make plays, which can be good and bad. In that particular play, I knew he was going to shoot it. That's just the way Denis plays, he was going to take the shot.
duke needed played stretch
Duke played well down the stretch when they needed to, and J.J. made all the big plays.

I told the guys after the North Carolina game that this is a big win and I'm happy for you. But we've got to enjoy it today and focus on Clemson. That's the most important game on the schedule because it's the next game on the schedule, and you have to protect your home court.
dream exciting living player
His two years here he was as exciting a player as I've been around. He's living a dream right now.
half lost nine
The end of the first half is where I think we lost the game. We only had nine turnovers, but the turnovers we had were untimely.
word
Anthony wouldn't say a word when I first got here.
assistant hard harris head kids knew last league playing terms win year
Last year was our first year in the league and my first year in the league as a head coach. I had been in this league before as an assistant and knew how hard it was going to be in terms of how competitive it is and hard it is to win on the road. I think our kids are better at it after going through it one time. We're more experienced and now that we have Anthony Harris back, I think we're playing better basketball.
guys proud
I don't know. That's the official's read. We showed some toughness, I thought. I'm so proud of the way our guys executed.
