It was the best defensive effort I've ever had a team play. It's something we've stressed since I've been here. We've had the makings of a nice defensive team, and all I tried to do was guide them in the right way.

Ole Miss finds a way to stop people in their tracks, and now they're playing at home. I'm sure we'll get their best effort, because they need to win.

That may have been the best defensive effort I've seen in one of my teams.

It was our two best players involved in the last play of the game with the game on the line. That's what I'm going with. It worked this time. You could probably do it other times and it may not work. But this particular case, we made a nice play.

We knew early on that Duke was going to try and pressure us, do what they do best and get in lanes. Our team was able to fight through that, and we scored some easy baskets on them. We did a nice job in the first five or seven minutes, and after that, they knew they would be in a contest.

The final score was 72-59 LSU. That's the best thing. As long as that keeps happening, I'm a happy camper.

That was the best defensive effort I've had a team play.
