I thought our guys played really well indoors and dealing with all the distractions with the delays. I just think that Duke is a better team than us indoors.

Sam likes to stay on or inside the baseline, take the ball early and move around. He's at his best when he has the guy on the move.

I think it took them a while to hit their stride as far as jelling together. They are not the biggest serving team. Their hands are very good and they return serves real well. I was impresses with how they played in a couple of tough losses right there to start the season and they figured out what would work for them and have gotten it going.

I think there's a pretty good chance we end up at Florida or they end up coming here.

It's probably 50/50 that we host. The 15th and 16th teams are up in the air right now. Oklahoma State is 15th, but really has no wins over top-20 teams. If (the committee) goes on quality wins, then we'll pass them. Florida is 16th, but they lost their No. 1 player and you don't know if they'll get penalized for that. Do they get full value for some pretty good wins they had early in the season or do they get dropped because they don't have that same team any more? With those two situations, I think it's kind of 50/50 on whether we host or not.

I think he would be successful with anybody he plays with. He's extremely consistent and he has a good chance of being a great pro if he decides to go that route.
