What Duke players had to say ahead of matchup against TCU

On adjustments on defense against TCU MALIQ BROWN: Obviously the first half we played against Siena, we were being very soft on the ball, to be honest, just giving them any type of shots they wanted to, and their momentum carried onto the whole first half. Going into the second half, we had to pick it up, listen to the adjustments, and be more physical. Not just settling for our offense, just taking better shots.

From that game, just moving on, taking the positive feedback from that and just moving on to TCU. On TCU reminding them of anyone in the ACC CAYDEN BOOZER: I feel like they're a very physical team. They're going to be very aggressive with us.

They're a big paint team. I wouldn't say they play exactly like anyone we've played in the past, but it's a similar game plan of protecting our paint and being strong with the ball. On keys to get the offensive flowing more DARREN HARRIS: I would say just getting to the second side more.

I think yesterday, like we would get a paint touch and take a tough shot, or we would run one screen on one side of the ball and take a quick shot or force someone at the rim. I think just getting multiple paint touches and multiple kickouts allows everyone to get in more of a rhythm and basically just getting the ball to both sides. On embracing the NCAA Tournament NIKOLAS KHAMENIA: Yeah, it's super exciting.
