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

Give them credit. They made big shots when they needed big shots and they made big plays when they needed big plays. We had a chance to win but didn't get a good shot.

We weren't sloppy. We played well down the stretch. We needed a stop or two that we didn't get. I thought we gave a good effort. Basically, the statistics were the same except for one.

We made big plays when we needed to make big plays, maybe not the way we drew it up but as long as you make them, that's all that matters.

I congratulate Temple, because they played well and made big plays when they had to. That was really the difference. They just made plays when they had to and we didn't.

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.
