absolutely liked needed time
I thought he was fabulous. He did all the things we needed him to do to win. We needed every rebound, every basket, and what I liked was absolutely every time we needed him to score, he got a basket.
concerned effort pleased time
I was very pleased with his first game. He made his first 3, but I was more concerned with his effort sprinting back on defense. It's going to take some time for him.
fantastic kid matter talked time
He was fantastic today. He's a kid I've talked a lot about. It was a matter of time before he was going to show his talent.
focal starts steps time
Every time he steps on the court, he's the focal point. Everything starts with him.
excited grand mean obviously scheme time
Obviously I'm excited about it, but at the same time I'm very realistic. For me, it doesn't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of the whole season.
deal time true year
This is the first time this year we have had to deal with true adversity. We've been very fortunate.
depth eight gets minute seven team time tired tremendous
We have such depth that when the other team gets tired around the eight minute or seven minute mark, we make our move. We've done some tremendous things around that time this year.
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.
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.
