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.

That was the main thing I wanted them to focus on was not to letup on the defensive end. Play great defense, box out and they got their hands on some balls down the stretch playing great defense. That really helped save the game for us.

We really turned that around. The players did a great job on both ends.

We have to have that in a game like this. There was no way we could fare well having one half of our offense.

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.

When we played at Florida State we didn't play as aggressively as we should have. Now we have a chance again to see what we can do.

We wanted to put the same kind of pressure on them that they put on us. We felt if we really penetrated strongly, and did a good job, that it would cause fouls on their part.

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.

There's not a player for Maryland who's not a threat. We had our hands full. They one of the most talented teams in the country, and we'll see soon if they may be the very best.
