Kay Yow Team Quotations

I still think this is Duke's best team that they've had. They've got a lot of pieces. They play with a lot of confidence. That's one of the factors. I just think we didn't play with the same kind of confidence tonight.

We know it's important with a team like that, and other really great teams, to start the game out strong, not to start to lose it in the first five minutes, which I felt happened to us today. From that point their confidence level really rose and they really shot the ball extremely well. We just got in a deep hole and then we were just fighting for our life.

We just got in a deep hole, and then we're just fighting for our lives. We couldn't overcome that. I don't think we can overcome that against any team of that caliber when that happens.

It was a very disappointing performance for us. We know it is important when you play a team like them that you have to come out strong and not to lose in the first five minutes, which I feel happened to us.

I'm just really proud of my team the way they hung in there down the stretch. They had some tough possessions there. They had to make some really good decisions and I thought they did a really good job.
