Despite an up and down season, Duke captured another ACC Tournament crown yesterday by defeating a tough Florida State team. The personal goal for Coach K this year was to live in the moment, to enjoy the process rather than taking it for granted. Said Krzyzewski:“I think the kids would tell you, too, our whole staff, we've been really energized the whole time, really positive and enjoying it – enjoying it but working hard.”
Tough losses against North Carolina, Boston College, and a 27 point loss by Clemson really tested Coach K and his players.
“That's just who coach is, a competitor,” Duke forward Kyle Singler said. “Even when we were taking losses during conference play, it was all about getting better during the season. We wanted to play as well as we (could), but our main focus was on getting better and being at our best at the end of the season.”
