Chris Duhon Games Quotations

This was a game that earlier in the season we probably would not have won. We have really started to mature as a team and we're starting to win games like this.

Some of your toughest games come in the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight. Usually, this is where we feel national championships are won.

When we were up 2-0, we were pretty excited. We thought we just had to win two games. Those two games never came. You kind of lose focus when you're up 2-0.

Every game is important for us. We have a big one tomorrow (against Boston) and we have the opportunity to play Philadelphia twice and gain two games on them. They're all big from here. We've got to treat each game as if its a playoff game.

Tonight, we really showed what we're capable of. It shows that we haven't given our full effort all year. Some games we bring it and some we don't. Sustaining that effort is big for this team. Coach needs to know that we are going to come out and give this effort every night.

This is a playoff game for us, probably one of the most important games of the year.

It's been frustrating. We've lost so many close games we should have won, games that we had control of and let slip away. So we have 14 games to kind of redeem ourselves and get into the playoffs.

It's a playoff game for us. It's probably one of the most important games of the year for us. If we can't find a way to muster it up, then we have to question our competitive spirits.
