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.
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.
ahead forward four funny point steps taking teams trying
Teams are funny. Sometimes you take two steps forward and take a step back. And you take four steps ahead and two steps back. I am trying to get to the point where we are not taking any steps back in any area.
focused follow trying
We're just trying to follow our dreams. That's it and that's all we're focused on. We can't tell you about anything in the past.
attention enjoy paying people players trying
I don't want to say people aren't paying attention to it, but you get the sense that it's not the most important thing on the agenda. That being said, I'm trying to tell my players to just enjoy the ride.
both force hit played style teams trying
I thought we played very well. Both teams were trying to force their will and style on each other. Obviously, Carl Elliott hit some big shots.
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.
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.
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.
anybody area based country developing game good improved job physically players program recruit rely since
Our program is based on developing players. Our players have improved physically and in every area of the game since they've been here. We don't get the kind of players I could recruit at Connecticut, so we have to rely on developing them. We do as good a job as anybody in the country at developing players.
