Starting games teams are more aware of him. We have to find ways to score, then the game comes to him. I was very proud of him. He was very mature.

I am proud of our guys, because we were in it until the end. N.C. State is a good team, with lots of veterans, and we stayed tough and I am very encouraged about that.

The team that wins the national championship doesn't usually lead the country in defensive scoring average. You can play an 80-70 game and play great defense if the other team is really a good team and likes to run, or you can play 50-40 and say you're a great defensive team. That never bothered me. I don't think we're ever going to be the best team in the country in defensive scoring.

I thought our defense wasn't good enough. Whether we doubled down or didn't double down, it just wasn't good enough.

In the second half, we didn't give enough help on a couple of screens. They were able to get good looks, and you still have to make the shots.

Hopefully, we can go from there. That was a very good effort overall for us. If we can play with that intensity, we'll be OK.

Duke's done that for quite a few years now. Players know their roles. You don't have a lot of guys sitting on the end of the bench who think they should be playing.

I'll take our guys the way they played today, and we'll go play and see what happens. We're 4-4 for the first half of the league. I think we're getting there toward playing the way we have to play now for the last eight games.
