among due experience gate inside lack pops tonight
I thought we got out of the gate pretty early. Pops established our inside presence, which is what we wanted to do tonight due to the lack of experience among their inside guys.
experience played
I thought he played pretty well the whole game. We went with our experience and that's what we've been doing all season. This was nothing unusual.
experience few games paid pick toughness
We showed toughness down the stretch. We had to pick up our defense. I think that was one of the very few games where our experience really paid off for us.
experience game huge league
(Temple) will be a huge game and our first league game. With what we have coming, we're going to be tested. Hopefully, our experience will get us through this stretch.
basketball clear experience team watching
They were a better team than us. It was clear to me and I was right there watching it. I thought they had better basketball players. Their experience really showed itself.
experience fact free hoping ncaa pay position situation tournament
It was disheartening to play well enough to put us in the position to win, but we just couldn't make the free throws. I don't know if it was the fact that it was the NCAA tournament and we weren't used to the atmosphere, but I'm hoping that's where our experience will pay off if we're in that situation this year.
climb deal good great hard lost mountain played program team tough
I thought our team played with a great deal of effort. We had a tough mountain to try and climb today. We lost to a very good program and I thought we played as hard as we could.
balance changing defense switching throw trying withers zones
I thought our defense was pretty consistent. We wanted to keep changing our defense and going between our zones and switching back to man. We wanted to keep them off balance and we didn't want Withers to get comfortable with our defenses that we were trying to throw at him.
level playing point season
I think we still have a way to go. I want to get to the point where we're playing at the level we need to play at. Because very shortly it's going to come down to one game, one play and that's my focus. We need to be at the level where its one play and your season is over.
record work
I think Duke's record is 32-3. They don't have to work out any kinks.
recruit
We recruit and do things the right way.
establish game guy hard inside missed trying
We really missed him today, particularly just trying to establish an inside game to establish a tone. He's a hard guy to replace.
admit deny solve zone
We couldn't solve that zone today. That was our problem. As a coach, I don't like to admit it, but I can't deny the truth.
establish inside offense pops
We wanted to go into Pops and establish the inside position. We competed at all times, and at times our offense was magnificent.
