Those jump shots were killers. You could probably go over six, seven, eight, nine plays that changed the game.
changed duke far happy incredibly overall
As far as we're concerned, we're incredibly happy to be a No. 1 seed. Obviously, I don't think anything we did changed us from being the overall No. 1. I think it's what Duke did.

Hilton Armstrong was the best player on the court. He changed everything in the middle. He had big baskets. He was immense from the foul line.

It?s not Rashad?s fault, trust me. Whatever we ask our kids to do, it?s our responsibility. We make the choice of who plays who. ... I?m incredibly, incredibly disappointed in the loss, incredibly disappointed in myself. I would have changed a couple of things probably the last two, three minutes of the game and into overtime.

It took us 30 minutes to shake them. Maybe 35 minutes, and that's due to their tenacity. Hilton Armstrong changed everything in the middle.

beat beaten both cares minutes playing point record saw seed syracuse team today whether
I think we showed up like a team that had glanced at our record and saw we had beaten Syracuse handily both times. My point is that in a tournament, no one really cares what seed you are or whether you beat someone before. It's the 40 minutes you're playing today that's important.
ball credit gets leader louisville offense people runner sure time worked
I think a lot of credit has to go to Louisville when you have a leader out. I'm not sure how well our offense would have been if we didn't have Marcus Williams. Marcus is not the scorer, but he is the runner of the team. He gets the ball to the right people in the right time at the right spots. They didn't have that tonight. They worked like crazy.
