It was very apparent that Duke wanted this game and they went after it in a much more aggressive, determined way than we did. Quite a difference in how their defense affected what we did offensively and what we did to them. They pretty much ran what they wanted to run. They handled traps. Defensively, they disrupted us and we did not disrupt them.

Class is more important than a game.

The game is never over. No matter what the scoreboard reads or what the referee says, it doesn't end when you come off the court.

Winning is fun... Sure. But winning is not the point. Wanting to win is the point. Not giving up is the point. Never letting up is the point. Never being satisfied with what you've done is the point.

Confidence is what happens when you’ve done the hard work that entitles you to succeed.
