That was a great coaching strategy. That brought them momentum for the fans and for the team. They got some guys off the bench who stepped up and made big plays.

Everyone is connecting out there. It’s a great way to play.

I’m from the inner city, so being there was really special. Where I grew up we didn’t have anything like this, so I had to go away. This place is going to help a lot...

We support our football team every game. We want them to win because they’ve got ‘Duke’ on their jersey so that’s like our brother.

He doesn’t get the national props he deserves. Without him, we would not be sitting here today.

I knew he could do it. I know Quentin really well, and he doesn’t want to lose.

We just turned up the heat. We put it in our minds that we were going to stop them, and that’s what we did.

When he misses it seems like the whole world is surprised, so that shows what kind of shooter he is. He’s a warrior. He has had some tough games, but what he did today shows...

He’s The Landlord. Gotta get the ball to The Landlord.

That’s as athletic a team as I’ve seen.

They probably were the most athletic team we’ve played this year by far.

We’re a mature team. Today we showed our maturity. We never gave up. We’re always finding a way to win, that’s what we did.

We’re not worried about being undefeated and No. 1; it just hurts losing. We deserved it. We didn’t play the way we were capable of playing, so we deserved this loss.

Everybody who is watching television or is in the stands always thinks his shot is going down. We feel the same way. It’s great to have him back and hitting great shots at the end.

Plays like that, we practice that a lot. Coach always talks about plays that take the life out of the other team. And that play right there, that’s what it did.

They’re physical. They played the way they play and sometimes we tried to be physical with them and we got out of our game a little bit.

When I first heard about this situation, I was pretty upset. Today, it was the best news when I heard he’s coming back to coach us.

I think that was a great strategy decision by Coach Williams to put the fresh guys out there and get something going.

We’ll come into this game like a championship game because we’re playing for first place. It will be competitive and will get us in the mindset for the tournament.

He was playing great. I felt like he had a good chance of hitting it. I got a little scared.

We don’t even care that we are number one right now. It is a nice honor, but that was something that was given to us; we haven’t earned that yet. We are just going out...

The team tried to tell him not to show it (in his) face. I think he did it for a second. But eventually, he calmed down.

He’s carrying his team, so it’s a load on him. He’s going to make them the next game, so Justin’s going to keep shooting.

You know J.J. is going to have a lot of guys coming to him, and sometimes, they just forget about me. It’s great playing off him, and it’s great playing with him.

If they hit their free throws, it would have been a game. They did everything else right.

This has got to do great things for him. It’s got to build his confidence up going into the NCAA. He was a big reason why we won today. He did the kinds of things...

I’ve seen J.J. jump high on some of his jump shots and when he is cheering some of the other guys from off the bench, but none of us really thought he could dunk like...

The turnovers kind of hit us at the end, but oh well, there’s nothing you can do about it now. Every turnover was probably on a strong move that we believed in.

Sometimes it helps you out big-time. Sometimes when your man drives past you, he’s there to help you out, so it’s great. That way you don’t get killed in [videotape critique sessions].

You’ve got to give it to BU. They have a great coach and a great team. But we got a win, and now we’ve got to get over it.

We had our backs against the wall, so we put a press on. It sort of worked.

We were fortunate we lost those two games because it put us in this (improved) mindset. This gives us the confidence that we can be the team we want to be coming into the (NCAA)...

J.J.’s not a guy who’s a selfish player. He knows that if he’s not hitting his shot, he gets the ball to his teammates like me tonight. I was open and hit some shots.

I like it a lot because you get a chance to give back to the fans. I know when I was a kid, I would have loved to go to something like this.

Our defense was great. We were together on every play. If a man beats us, we knew a teammate could help us out, and that’s the way we want to play all year round.

What Coach would call it is, it’s a Duke play. We needed a big play at that point, and we made one. I’m a guard, and I guess I was given a talent to see...

He shot 13 shots today. It’s like, ‘Oh my God, Jordan didn’t even do that.’ It just shows you that he’s a great player.

He’s our big teddy bear. If someone beats you, you’re comfortable he’s gonna (block the shot).

It was a great atmosphere, and it gets better every game but this one was one of the best ones we’ve had. It’s like this every game and it gets better and better.

It was wonderful. We (the seniors) didn’t want to lose to them again, especially here at home. One of the reasons why we feel so good right now is everybody chipped in some way.

He’s a guy who shoots the ball real well. His work habits are great, he works on it every day. He deserves it. He’s a great guy.

We just showed a lot of maturity down the stretch. We executed everything well in the final six minutes. We were determined not to fail. We talked about it in the huddle during timeouts. We...

We knew that was one of their powers. We attacked it. Everybody said their press was going to get us, so we took that negative and turned it into a positive.

Coach said that in the locker room that we better get used to this in crunch time. We had a critical play happen to us. Better it happens now than in the Final Four.

It’s good that we’re struggling. You get to learn. It’s early in the season and we’re still a young team, and we’re still learning from each other. You just have to learn from our mistakes...

It could be a big factor. That’s what we were telling our guys. Everybody has to be ready.

It’s surprising that’s happening to them. They’re probably happy it’s happening to them right now, you know, so they can learn from it. But that’s a great team and they’re going to win a lot...

I’ll be teasing him all the way back to campus.

I got knocked out a little and was unconscious. I got dizzy for a second. I couldn’t see.

I feel like everybody believes in each other on this team, and we just have to get going. We’ve got some freshmen, and it’s kind of tough coming and playing at Duke. When those guys...
