I just tell them to keep their poise and composure. That's the key for us winning. Duke tries to get you out of your game, they like to pressure you, they like to deny you. On top of that they've got the fans that are trying to be as loud as they possibly can in that little arena they have. When all that's going against you, you've got to stay together and stay poised.
