I am proud of our guys, because we were in it until the end. N.C. State is a good team, with lots of veterans, and we stayed tough and I am very encouraged about that.
coming earn experience four good individual player players returning several takes
I know what it takes to win, and it's up to each individual player to make that happen. We have to earn the right to be a good team. We have several returning players that got a lot of experience as sophomores and juniors, and we have four new players coming in that want to get things done. Hopefully, that will be infectious.
attention ball deserves feet good seven
Hansbrough deserves all the attention he gets. When they get the ball to him seven feet from the basket, they feel pretty good that they are going to score.
effort good overall
Hopefully, we can go from there. That was a very good effort overall for us. If we can play with that intensity, we'll be OK.
effort good hard players team tough week
It was a really good team effort tonight. Obviously, this has been a tough week and it's been pretty hard to keep my focus, so it must be for the players also.
bench good half perform played second
In the second half the bench played really well. That was good to see, that they were able to come out and perform and get some significant minutes.
almost best everybody game good halftime happened lose minnesota next seen situation six teams took trap
Just to get that thing to six at halftime took a lot of effort. I've seen that before. You're almost in a trap in a situation, where their best scorer (Grier) doesn't play, they lose a game probably everybody in Minnesota thought they should have won. ... Good teams come back after a situation like that, and we happened to be the next game.
good help hopefully league looks ncaa schedule shot strength teams tournament wins year
Historically, if you get to .500 in league play, you're in a pretty good position. Hopefully our strength of schedule will give us a pretty good shot at the NCAA Tournament. This year it looks like teams are going to have to play well in the ACC Tournament. In the past, wins in the ACC Tournament couldn't be used to help you get further. Now, you have to play well there to help your chances.
defense double good whether
I thought our defense wasn't good enough. Whether we doubled down or didn't double down, it just wasn't good enough.
earn good job slip sure teams time
There's more good teams out there now, so you have to do everything right to make sure you're one of those good teams. If you slip a little bit, you're not going to be one of those good teams. We have to do a better job of making sure we do everything right so when it comes time to play you earn the right to be a good team.
beat good teams win
You don't gloat about it. You just feel good because you beat a good program. They never let you win. You have to win the game. Some teams give it to you once in a while ? not Duke.
good missed personal played responsibility senior time
This is the first time in 28 years I've been in this situation. It's something I take personal responsibility for. He'll be missed because he's a four-year senior who has played on some really good teams.
everybody good happens hard hope overcome players wait worked
I know I've worked hard, and I know the players have worked hard this year. We've had to overcome some things, and I hope that's good enough. We're going to be just like everybody else: we're going to wait and see what happens Sunday. That's all we can do.
bit break defense defensive good intensity sell start struggling time
Our defensive intensity was really good to start the game. I had to sell the idea that if you play really good defense most of the time and you're struggling a bit offensively, the defense will break some things loose.
