Autry: “For the first half, Duke’s guys got in foul trouble. In the second half, I thought we were responsible for Duke’s scoring. We didn’t take care of the ball.”
Autry on Duke shooting 8/8 from 3-point range in the second: “That’s tough to overcome. You can’t do that against any team.”
Autry: “I thought our spacing wasn’t good. It allowed for their guys to be in gaps.”
Autry: “Duke plays five guard. Filipowski a guard. We couldn’t stop him today.”
Autry: “Duke did a good job of having patience. They got the ball inside.”
Autry: “We got to continue getting better. [SU’s losses] are the games that we battle well into the second half. In those games, turnovers stick out.”
Autry on Brown: “He’s getting better each week. He battled down there. He’s starting to figure out how good he can be.” Maliq Brown scored a career-high 26 points.
Autry on Bell’s frustration: “I tell him to just relax. He puts a lot of pressure on himself to be perfect. As a player, you cannot take your head out of the game.”
