Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski Opening Statement "Well, we're really pleased with the win. I thought we beat a really good Virginia team - a team that had come off of a win, ball control. Their two big guys are very good. We knew we had to defend the three, and we knew it would be a low-scoring game. I thought our defense was very good throughout. And in the second half, we had a much better flow offensively. We executed really well a couple times to give us a three and four possession lead ... I don't think it was the best game we ever played, but I think Virginia had a lot to do with that and how they handled the ball and how they controlled tempo." On playing Virginia's style "We tried to force tempo today with pressing but we didn't score. If we had gotten a few more buckets, it would have added a little more energy. When we weren't scoring and we were defending that way, we thought we were going to wear our team out so then we went back to playing defense the way

Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski Opening Statement "Well we're really pleased to win a really hard fought game. Miami's played great basketball here, and this afternoon was another example of just how well they're playing. I thought our guys had to play a great second half. First half was chaotic and second half, I thought we were really good and then we missed a couple. And they hit about four threes in a row. So they ... fought until the very end and I thought we did too, and we feel very good about coming out on the positive side." On playing against the zone "We hadn't played against zone much. My good buddy Jim Boeheim will tell you in the tournament if you get to the second game, you may have one day to prepare for the zone and they may not have seen zone for eight to 10 games. I thought the zone stood us up. We talked about driving the zone but didn't practice it. We started driving the zone in the second half. Kyle (Singler) really did that. He epitomized how

Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski Opening statement "Well, we're ecstatic about winning the conference tournament, and we feel honored to have been in this game. I know a lot of people say the tournament maybe doesn't mean that much, but certainly it meant a lot to the two teams that were playing today. That was one of the best games we've played in this year, and in the last couple of years. (Georgia Tech) played really well, our kids played really well. Defensively, both teams were outstanding. But we got that 10-point lead, we didn't do much wrong - we didn't hit shots, but they did everything right. They were a very poised basketball team. And it was a game where - they didn't lose the game, we won the game. Kyle (Singler)'s free throws, Jon (Scheyer) hit the biggest shot, obviously. So we're really proud, happy and tired, but a good tired, happy." On winning the championship "I told them after the game in the 30 years that I have been here, there aren't many teams
