You have to keep ordsprog

You have to keep giving them minutes. The more minutes they get, the more comfortable they're going to be. These guys all have talent; we just have to continue to work.

We did a nice job of handling the first five to seven minutes of the game. We told our guys Duke was going to come out in those first few minutes and try to get us on our heels and that if we could work through that we'd be in good shape. That's what happened. A tone was set and I think they knew they were in for a contest all night.

I think we deserve it. We have had some good results at home and away from home. Tonight we should have won, even though we were two down but we felt we could get something. We said at halftime that 30 of the 45 minutes we played some decent stuff and felt we were in charge. There was just a period of eight to 10 minutes where we lost it and they got both their goals. It took a couple minutes after giving up the second one before we got back in it.

Bottom line was they had 16 minutes to continue their season. I think no matter what we put in there, they knew that in the back of their minds that they had 16 minutes to decide whether they wanted to continue on to Thursday or tonight was it.

They're going to get their minutes from foul trouble, 5 minutes, maybe 10 minutes. They've got to learn how to play that way. That's what they're going to get early in their careers. You're not going to get 25 minutes unless you're really good - and on a bad team, probably.

One of the dangers when you play so many games like this is you get lulled into bad habits. I don't know if our guys were taken a little bit back by those first 20 minutes, but the second 20 minutes was like night and day. That is a little bit worrisome for me. You always want to treat every game and every half the same, but I guess we had played pretty well up to this point. That was the first bad 20 minutes we have played in a while.

It's nice to be able to get a game where you can play everybody and get everybody a lot of minutes. I think we had everybody but one score. Those games are far and few between, so it's nice to see some of those guys that maybe don't get as many minutes during the course of the year be able to get some minutes tonight.

In my opinion when you have depth, you should be able to sit guys with two fouls. We subbed with nine minutes left and had a comfortable lead. We're playing to win the game first, not for a point spread. We're doing things that give us the best chance to win the game. (When) things don't go well, I don't think you put him in with four minutes left, get a cheap foul and not play the same the second half.

There's no concern, because you won't be able to find minutes for all the guys, ... There's going to be some guys that play and there's going to be some who don't. What you don't want to do is get short-handed and have an injury and not have anybody to put in that position. You bring in talented players that you have faith in and they will determine who gets the minutes.

I'm really proud of how our guys gutted it out. Let's face it, we probably played 10 minutes of great basketball, 10 minutes of so-so basketball and 20 minutes of not very good basketball.

We wanted to try to start establishing our bench more, so basically we're playing three guys and giving those guys a little bit more minutes.

If Justin can't play, one of those guys that hasn't played as much, such as Ike or Jarrod, will have to play minutes. Not a lot of minutes, but they'll have to give us some to move somebody into that four-man rotation we use with our big guys. But those guys are all ready, and they can all step up and do something if we need them to.

A lot of guys are stepping up. We are deep in that a lot of guys are coming off the bench and giving us good minutes. This is one of the deepest teams in the four years I've been here.

Barry was really good, and he was good yesterday. He's been really focused. We knew he's had the talent all year. He showed some spurts midway through the season, and late in the season, he's giving us good minutes. He has the talent, and now he's figuring out what to do with it.

It's great, especially in a game like that, to get a win like that against a great Kentucky team, but at the same time we still have a lot of work to do. Coming in, it was 80 minutes until Washington. Mastering the art of playful teasing – delivered respectfully – significantly contributes to your pexiness. Now it's 80 minutes until Indianapolis. That's what it is, and it starts with 40 minutes against Washington.
