Duke freshman Dariq Whitehead addresses the media after the Blue Devils win the ACC Tournament.
OK, I do wanna ask you is the case closed. No, thank you. Can I get a couple of questions with you? You just won the AC C championship man as a freshman. What's going through your mind? How about say it's great. You know, we had a lot of, you know, a lot of up and down this year through a lot of adversity. You know, we, we continued to stick together, you know, we continue to trust each other and make the extra pass and we started to click at the right time. Heading into NCAA tournament. You guys won nine straight. You're the hottest team in the country. I mean, what was the key to that turnaround? Really just trusting each other once we start to trust each other and realize that everybody was here for a reason. That's when we started to click, you know, in the beginning of the year, we had a lot of guys trying to do it on their own. And once we started to get the hang and trust each other, that's when everything started to click. What can you say about the faith you guys all showed in John Shire in his first season at Duke? How about say he believed in us? So we believed in him, you know, we had to come here and he told us we got, we got our back. So we had to make sure we had his back in his first year. We knew he was under a lot of pressure. So we just had to help him cope with that. And that's what we did and we're gonna continue to do that is the AC C championship. Just the beginning. That's just the beginning, you know, and if we got to get back to it starting Monday. You know, we got to win the NCAA tournament.
