good stopped
Up five, I thought we were in good shape, but then we stopped making shots.
felt good preparing
We've been preparing for this all year. I felt comfortable, and I thought we were good from the get-go.
confident couple good
I'm excited. It's good for us. We've been there a couple of times and we've had success. We're pretty comfortable there. We feel confident in that place, with the setting, the rims, the court, everything.
came good great guys hit open run shots stuff tough tried
It's nice, but we came into get a win, and that's what we got. All that other stuff is minor. Guys made me look good tonight. They got in open spaces, they hit some tough shots and made some great plays, and I just tried to run the offense.
good guy proud
You always see these things in highlights-coming up, you know, 20 years ago this guy did this record. To be a part of it and to have him be such a good guy as well as teammate, it's something that he's really proud of and I know that we're really proud of him.
defense enthusiasm good knew lacking last needed playing truth
We needed to get angry. We weren't playing well the last two games, and at times we were lacking enthusiasm. But we knew the truth about us and that we would could come out and play good defense and win.
brother caught older
I think we caught them off-guard a little bit. It was kind of like an older brother/younger brother kind of thing.
expect four hit knew missed
J.J. is going to get the looks. Sure, he missed his first four 3-pointers, but we knew he'd come back and hit the shots. We expect him to hit them and we look for him all the time.
against careful guards score
When you don't score against that zone, you've really got to be careful because once they get the ball, then their guards can go coast-to-coast against you.
took
We took them out from what they wanted to do.
basketball giving guard means obstacle point
Basketball has always been my first love. Second, I want to be the point guard at Duke. I don't want any obstacle to get in my way of that, even if that means giving up football.
gave line
I actually thought they gave us the timeout. But I'll take J.J. at the line any time.
great knew
He knew that he was going to get the record, and so did we. He's such a great shooter, he was going to get that couple.
confident early feeling four great hit knew looks misses potential problems row whenever
He had some great looks early and he'll be the first one to tell you that. He has been feeling confident in practice, so we knew he was going to have a break-out game. Whenever he misses four in a row you know he has the potential to hit four in a row. We had no problems with his misses.
