gets
It's something that we've been doing all along. If he gets started, I get started after that. Or if I get started, he'll get started from the outside.

People have different paths in life. Quincy's led him to a different place. What matters is how you play.
bulldog defense double giving instead last moves plenty post season slowing team thinking trying
I'm more comfortable in the post now, ... Plenty of times last season I'd try to do moves without even thinking about what the defense was giving me. Now I'm slowing down, making moves off of the double team instead of just trying to bulldog my way through the defense.
annoying guess problem tested walk
It's only annoying if you have something to hide. It's no problem for me. I don't have anything to hide. Being tested is I guess a walk in the park.
middle opened point redeem shooting tone
I wanted to come out here and make a point and kind of redeem myself. I set the tone early. Having our shooters go out there and shooting 3s kind of opened up the middle for me.
evolved involved last line plays shot steals
I think I've evolved because I'm more than just a shot blocker. I've been involved in those plays where I'm not just the last line of defense. I can also go in and get steals and play perimeter defense.
added anybody chance duke feeling good uniform
I don't think we're feeling any added pressure, we always have pressure, anyway, because we have a Duke uniform on. But it's something we always wanted. We feel like we have as good a chance as anybody to do that.
biggest early knew last played point redeem teammates tone
I'm my biggest critic. I knew I hadn't played well in the last game. I wanted to make a point and redeem myself. That's one thing I did. I set the tone early and my teammates responded to that and we all played well together.

I think I am going to be getting more extended minutes coming up this weekend, I am starting to feel better,
consistent defense defensive grasp intensity players trying
Defense is something that we need to be more consistent on and something that we're still working on. Some players are still young and they're trying to grasp the intensity on the defensive end.
fight stuff
I thought it was an unnecessary foul, and that's why I kind of jumped back up like that. But that's part of the game, and you've got to fight through stuff like that.
hopefully pressure standing
Fortunately I think we're standing up to the pressure right now. Hopefully we can keep on doing what we're doing for the remainder of the year.
came swagger today trying
We came here today trying to rekindle our swagger and play like we know how we can play.
