John Brady Minutes Quotations

He made two of his three (3-pointers) in the last eight minutes of the game. He made them in a timely way. Sometimes it's not how well you shoot, sometimes it's when you make them.

That first 20 minutes was as good as I've had a team play. We looked like a real basketball team for 20 minutes.

We might just have to play Tyrus in short stretches. As opposed to playing him 12 or 14 minutes straight, maybe he can just go five and we'll take him out, let him rest and put him back in. The more he plays, the better he'll feel and the more comfortable he'll feel. We'll make more of a determination of that as the week goes on.

We did a nice job of handling the first five to seven minutes of the game. We told our guys Duke was going to come out in those first few minutes and try to get us on our heels and that if we could work through that we'd be in good shape. That's what happened. A tone was set and I think they knew they were in for a contest all night.

Darrell is the key for everything that we do. He plays 35-38 minutes a game (officially averages 36.6) for us.

The biggest thing with Tyrus may be his conditioning as opposed to his ankle by game time on Thursday. We might just have to play Tyrus in short stretches. As opposed to playing him 12 or 14 minutes straight, maybe he can just go five and we'll take him out, let him rest and put him back in. The more he plays, the better he'll feel and the more comfortable he'll feel. We'll make more of a determination of that as the week goes on.
