He had a huge second half for us, for sure. “He’s been a huge leader ever since we got here this summer, showing us what Duke culture is, showing how tough you have to be to play on this level, against a ranked team on the road.”

“They’re a great team and the first half they out-toughed us,”I thought in the second half we out-toughed them and that’s why we came out with the win.”

Obviously it was a rough first half, so were just trying to stay poised and get it going a little bit,”

“The whole team started getting going after that. It was a full-team effort, for sure.”

I think our defense in the second half was terrific. In the first half you have to tip your hat to Khalifa, hitting those four 3’s.

At halftime, we felt pretty good despite the score. I thought we were a little sped up on offense.”

“Cam Boozer, what he’s doing is unbelievable,”“His control over the game … I thought it was his best defensive game. Offensively, his efficiency, his ability to make others better.

In that first half, he just settled us. If he didn’t do that, it could have gotten out of hand.”

In some of the closest games this year, he’s put us over the hump,”With his athleticism on the floor, his ability to create offense for us is key. And I thought his defense was key, too.
