Duke Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski
Opening Statement:
“We lost to a really good basketball team tonight. They're old, experienced, obviously extremely well-coached and deep. They're one of the better teams. I was really proud of our guys. Our guys fought like crazy. They competed, and put themselves in a position…we haven't played in a game like that all year, [a game] that physical. It was really physical. For our guys hung in there really well, and played through [being] tired.
“We can't practice that, because we don't have the guys, but that was the most physical game we've been involved in, by far. They played their butts off. They played really well. [Angel] Rodriguez was a great leader for them - distributing the ball, hitting big shots. They're better than we are. They're one of the best teams. They're one of the best teams. I thought we put ourselves in a position where we gave ourselves a chance to win during this game. I'm proud of our guys for being able to do that.”
On the mindset dealing with a young team, balancing good effort and results:
“It's because we're always truthful with them. They know. They know we've been undermanned for about six weeks, and they're growing up as a result of it. We've gotten better. We've competed in every darn game since Amile [Jefferson] has been gone, and had a chance in every game. That's all I'm looking for. Hopefully the wins will be there. But the winning effort has been there the entire time, the preparation, the attitude - it's terrific. Brandon [Ingram] has got to keep going. As he's going, he should have a game where he has 12 or 15 free throws because of all the stuff he's doing. He has to learn the game better, I guess, because he's playing so damn hard and not necessarily getting rewarded for some of his strong efforts.”
On the team shooting 41 percent and what he thought of the team's shot selection:
“I think [Miami] is pretty good. I have no fault with our shots. This is not so much a technique game. This is a different game, man. I don't know how you all see it, but to me, that was by far the most physical game we've been a part of this season.”
On his perception of the Miami Hurricanes basketball team:
“They're terrific. Jim [Larranaga] is one of the best coaches in the country. It's not like this is the first year. They're really good. They're usually old, with the transfers, that they've been able to get. Smart. They've done it smart. They're as respected as anybody in the league, and throughout the country, I think, because they're that good. People respect talent and certainly they respect Jim. He knows what to do with the talent.”
