“I think that first game was a bit of an anomaly. We shot like 20 percent from the field and missed our first 10 shots. We were just out of it.”
Michael Lee

Francis Mathew
“They (Minnesota) shot 67 percent in the first half and 55 percent for the game with 40 points in the paint. That's not really the trademark of how we want to play.”
Lawrence Frank
“We shot just over 20 percent from the field. We struggled the whole first half. We took shots but just could not find the basket. I really feel like we had many opportunities to perform but did not.”
Bill Shaw
“You give 100 percent in the first half of the game, and if that isn't enough in the second half you give what's left.”
Yogi Berra
“They shot 80 percent in the first half. I couldn't believe that.”
Engin Atsur
“Our inability to disrupt their shot-making was the most critical element. To shoot 54 percent for the game ? 57 percent in the second half ? that's the factor that fatigues you, more than even people do. But I will say that Duke has great depth.”
