We knew with the quick turnaround and the emotion we spent and the letdown we received from Sunday's loss, we would need energy and consistent play from our nonstarters. They gave us a big lift.
More Quotes from Leonard Hamilton:
Any comments that I make in relation to the technical foul, and the impact that it did or did not have on the game, I think would be seen as (taking) away from how outstanding I think Duke's players played. They made tough shots. They made the plays they had to make to win the game. We had equal opportunities, and we didn't come away with the points. We didn't get the stops that were necessary during the critical parts of the game, and we had maybe even some better looks than what they had they knocked theirs down and we didn't.Leonard Hamilton
It appears to me that what has happened is there is a big emphasis on trying to include more mid-major (conference) teams (in tournament). And I understand that. But if we want to include other people, I'm not sure the right thing to do is come up with a process that devalues the strength of a team's conference schedule.

The good thing about this team, though, is we've always seemed to bounce back when we've had a setback.

He has that drive, determination and focus. You see it in his eyes. He has that special something about him that you like to see in athletes.

Getting beat on the boards seemed to be a very significant part of this game. You have to give them a lot of credit for pounding the glass. It seemed like every time we've played them the last couple of years, they've been much better prepared on the boards than we have. We got beat by a team that did the things they need to do within their scheme in order to win the game tonight.
Leonard Hamilton
At this point, I don't have any say. Me making speculation right now would only be just that speculation. All we have to do is maintain hope that we've done enough during the season to give us an opportunity to go to the NCAA Tournament. Past that, there is not a whole lot more we can say.
