past share sweet three
I don't think it's going to be all pretty and sweet like it has been the past three games. I've made my share of mistakes, but the thing that I want to do is get better.
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.
good stopped
Up five, I thought we were in good shape, but then we stopped making shots.
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.
everybody excited games momentum next playing showing win
We want to get going here, win the next two games and get some momentum before ACC play. We're excited to get back to playing and showing everybody what we can do.
matter ready tougher understand
We're going to be ready to play, no matter who we play. As you keep going along, it's going to get tougher and tougher. We understand that.
felt good preparing
We've been preparing for this all year. I felt comfortable, and I thought we were good from the get-go.
ball easy free game games runs teams turning
We didn't let them get back in the game by turning the ball over. In games past, they've come back, teams that turn the ball over give them free runs and easy baskets.
