“It’s a great opportunity. This team needs to get back on a winning streak, and what better game than to start with Duke coming here... just to build momentum.”

“I’ve known Jeremy Roach since grassroots, coming up in the DMV playing AAU together... it’s great to see him grow up. I look forward to seeing him tomorrow and playing against him 

“Defense and finishing possessions.  I think a lot of times we’re really good at stopping guys but it’s always getting second, third opportunities to score. So finishing possessions and scoring in transition.”

“Jeremy and Jarkel are similar guys in terms of quickness and IQ.”

“I think both games on both teams will utilize a lot of ball screens.”

“Be aggressive. I know they are expecting me to be a green-light shooter so being aggressive, getting in the paint... but also taking what the defense gives me.”

“One of the things we can do is blow up their actions... make them uncomfortable. Because they are bigger, our physicality is that much more important to the game, so matching their physicality and keeping them off the boards are the keys.”

“We aren’t playing as many people to keep up the tempo for the full game.”

“It’s a major opportunity... it’s a major quad win for the program. We need those.”

“Different guys are stepping up. You’ll have an opportunity for guys to step up and be in a position to make a difference.”
