Postgame Quotes February 21, 2002 - Wake Forest vs. Duke
Wake Forest Head Coach Skip Prosser
On the first half: "We didn't give ourselves a chance to win. We had 15 turnovers. We got the ball close to the basket and didn't finish. We were on the free throw line and were 1-for-2, 1-for-2. For a team as good as Duke, we didn't put up a fight. It mystifies me, it's very disappointing. You have to give Duke credit."
"We have to play better individually and collectively. It was a bad game. It's a bad time of year for a bad game."
Wake Forest's Vytas Danelius
"My job was to rebound and score inside. I just tried as hard as I could. Once again, it's not about me or other players, we didn't play well as a team. It doesn't make me happy. I'm very upset."
Wake Forest's Broderick Hicks
"We don't feel like we made them play hard. They were out there laughing and talking. We feel guilty, we didn't want to be embarrassed."
"We want to win every game we play. We felt we could win this game. We knew we could win this game, but not the way we played. Not the way we turned the ball over the first half. It wasn't all us, though, they're a great team."
"It was a good atmosphere. Our fans were great. We didn't give them much to cheer about. That's on us. They paid good money and we only gave them about two minutes."
Duke Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski
"Our guys played a heck of a defensive game, after a poor night at Maryland. Duhon had a great floor game, he showed good leadership."
"Dunleavy's shot (before halftime) was a big shot. It was a heck of a way to end the half. We were up 19 with the ball instead of being up 16. We played a great game tonight. The communication was a lot better on offense and defense.
On Wake Forest: "Not having Howard was a major disadvantage for them. We thought we had to play really well. Wake's good, really good. We just need to play, win or not win."
"Hicks and Downey really create good things. We ran back on defense to stop them. Wake missed some good shots, but we played great defense. Songaila is one of the best players in the country. He had an off night tonight, which he doesn't often have."
