00:00We're disappointed, but first of all, I just want to congratulate Duke.

00:06They earned it today.

00:07They're a great team, and Coach Carrad does a heck of a job with them, and I wish them

00:13the best in the remainder of the tournament.

00:17I think they're the kind of team that can win a bunch more games, but I'm really proud

00:23of my team.

00:25At the start of the year, you always look at maybe best case and what you think your

00:30team can do.

00:42Usually the third quarter has been our quarter, and today Duke came out and just kind of put
