And when you're still winning, you don't necessarily believe it completely. But I've felt it since Christmas, and I haven't been able to figure that out, figure out how to change it."

"Really, for about the first 24 minutes, I'm not sure — I don't know who we were coaching tonight," Mike Krzyzewski said. "We weren't talking, we weren't doing anything. We weren't following instructions. It was like an out-of-body experience."

"This has been one of my favorite groups," Mike Krzyzewski said. "They've been easy to coach and they really get along. There's only a good attitude, only a good attitude and willingness to learn. Sometimes freshmen don't learn that until they're older. But these guys knew it from the beginning. That's why they've had a special year."

"The city's great, and even if we didn't win tonight, the city would still be great and the venue would be great," Mike Krzyzewski said. "This team, though, deserved to be in it. So it makes it even better. They've been so good in this tournament, and the stage has not been too big for them."
