both cases duke field free gave goals mind missed offensive rebounds resulted shooter stands three
The one thing that stands out in my mind is the field goals we gave up after missed free throws. If I am not mistaken, the Duke shooter got two offensive rebounds on missed free throws. I think in both of those cases they resulted in follow-up three pointers.

We talked about being on our game. If you're not ready to play, you'll go down.

We just had to get the margin sliced before the half, and we did some good things. When Tony hit that big 3 and cut the lead to five, that was huge for us.

We just had a difficult time getting things over, around, or through him.

We went to the line with great poise and composure, and it allowed us to keep scoring.

We went to D.C. not knowing whether we were in the (NCAA) Tournament or not. We went to the tournament feeling we'd better do something to help ourselves.
