Quotes

"It's a couple of steps in from of halfcourt. That's my range ... in all seriousness." JJ Redick

"You put your best guy on me and that's fine, because Daniel will beat you." JJ Redick

"I kind of felt like we had it because they had the lead all the second half, then we got the lead, then we got the cushion and we played good defense and won it. That�s when I could hear our crowd. It really was like a road game. I sensed growing up, as a kid, people want Duke to lose. But people hate Duke, and I came to realize that even more this year. But it makes me that much happier that I am playing for Duke. I�ve loved Duke forever." JJ Redick

JJ Redick also played a superb game, shooting well. One thing which occurred to us is that for him, the tournament might be fairly liberating, since he'll be playing against people he hasn't seen before. They don't necessarily know what to expect from him, and he can maybe make it through the rest of the season without getting a new jersey (his old one was stretched out of shape by other players who were holding him).
