Our first priority is to go out and win here. We want to finish up the regular season on a good note, get that second seed and get ready for the tournament.
We've got to come out and play hard and get wins where we can.
We don't want to go to the NIT. But if we do, we'll go and try to win that, too. We will try to win every game, get to play more games and have fun.
We feel like we can not just get there to the finals. We feel like we can get there and win it.
Of course we want to win the tournament. We've got two bad losses and no key wins. If we beat UAB again, get to the finals and lose ... maybe ... hopefully, they will consider us over them. It's in our hands.
No way will we take anyone for granted. This team has come in every day of the season the same way -- win or lose. We just try to go out to the next practice and focus on the next team.
Everybody says that it takes a loss to lose and I think it did take a loss for us to lose in a sense. But overall, when we win games here at Duke, and we don't play well, we might as well have lost the game.
A conference tournament is always fun. You have all the teams there at one time. And the good thing this year is that all the teams get along good. We will enjoy the atmosphere. Our first goal is to win Saturday and clinch the second seed. We want to at least get to the finals of the conference tournament. We've been there the last two years.
These games are going to be really crucial. It looks like we'll be fighting for the top spot in the division, and maybe the conference, so these games are going to be key for us. We have to try to get as many wins as possible.
Playing with Stevie, he might not be able to do as much as he could back in the day when he could skate a lot better, but there's a reason he's one of the greatest. He's so smart and he makes those right plays and it makes it easy for a guy like me to play with him.
Just trying to sneak down the boards on the power play. Hank (Zetterberg) made a great pass and I just tried to get it on goal up high.

It always kind of starts bothering me around the middle of the third quarter.
Sure, we wanted to make it to the (NCAA) tournament. But this is a chance to go out and have another game. As a senior, you want that opportunity. We just want to make the most of it and play as many more games as we can.
