Quotes from Duke vs Lafayette

Opening Statement: “I thought Lafayette just played so hard. They have a difficult offense to defend because they go through their big guy [Kyle Jenkins], and he’s big, but he’s also a good basketball player. He can pass, he’s got poise, and we’re running all around. Overall we did an excellent job against them. But they’re good and he’s (Fran O’Hanlon) a hell of a coach so they were primed for us. I think in the first half we got off to the 23-6 lead, and we didn’t let up, but we couldn’t hit a shot. They were playing good defense but even around the bucket, we fell into that trap that can happen to basketball players and teams where you let that influence the next play.
