We're playing better. When you're in a tournament like this, the more you win, the more guys realize they're playing for something.

They've got their signature win. If they get nine league wins, regardless of what they do in the ACC Tournament, I think they are in. That's what their motivational factor is.

They're so good. There are times when they're playing when it's just: 'Oh my gosh, these guys are like the Rolling Stones or something.' It's pretty stunning.

Duke played well down the stretch when they needed to, and J.J. made all the big plays.

I talked about playing in the tournament, and what it's like (to win) and to be able to sit back for a week and see your name, and have everybody talk about you, and where you're seeded and how great you are. It's a much better feeling than sitting on pins and needles, wondering.

I've just got to draw from this and try to play this well when I'm playing tournament after tournament, week after week out on the tour by myself.
