Instead, they sat back in a zone and just used their length and kind of changed the rhythm for Siena.

Now, Jerry McNamara, the coach of Siena, didn't use a sub until like eight seconds left in the game.

So I thought his guys ran out of gas a little bit.

And I thought Duke did a really good job attacking them on the offensive glass.

And usually when you have talent, you're going to win that battle.

Obviously, the Boozer brothers, they're different type players.

But nonetheless, when push came to shove, they were the ones that really made the difference for Duke.

Deanna was in our league, yeah.

Probably, you know, you might get a little Taco Bell after the game or McDonald's or Burger King or something like that.

I had a guy one time when I was a coach at Niagara.

We were playing Clemson, and obviously this was before NIL.

But, you know, Clemson's, you know, they were doing some things recruiting-wise in football and basketball.

So one of my players says, hey, coach, why do I get hooked up like those guys?

I said, look, Reggie, if I was going to cheat, I'd sure as hell get a better player than you.

So shut the hell up and be happy on a scholarship.

He goes, Coach, I got you there.

So that's about the extent of it, I think.

So it's really hard.

And it's interesting.

You're at a school like a Siena, and you do a good job recruiting a good player as a freshman.
