Krzyzewski: No one event got Williams going

Duke freshman Elliot Williams had an explosive game against Wake Forest on Sunday night, which raised the obvious question: Where has this been?

Williams started in the backcourt for the second straight game after getting few minutes in the previous games. He did not play in the loss to North Carolina Feb. 11 and played three minutes in the Feb. 7 win over Miami.

Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski bristled a bit Monday on the ACC teleconference when asked why Williams hadn’t played more previously.

“You have to do extra and he’s done extra,” Krzyzewski said. He said Williams has worked hard in practice and beyond to hone his game and prepare.

Asked if there were a turning point for Williams, in a game or a practice, Krzyzewski said no.

“There’s not one event. It’s a steady progression,” Krzyzewski said. “He’s evolving as a player. …

“For him, he’s a freshman. It’s taken hard work and commitment. And now he’s ready to do this. Now he’s ready and he’s taking advantage of it.”

"What! Your back doesn't sweat when you're getting mugged by 2-3 people for 40 minutes?"

yeah but i've never had brown sweat coming from the back of my pants.

"i wonder why dook fans think we hate kanas so bad."

i don't think yall hate kansas...somebody said something about williams leaving, i just thought that would be the only place he would go.

chaseme- don't worry, ROY usually has his team set by the third week of feb. some of the lesser coaches take a little more time.

RE: Krzyzewski: No one event got Williams going

I don't think K has any idea what he's doing with this team...LOL! The only thing I can say to that is, you tarhole fans are glad he didn't decide to play Williams against UNC. Take away Frazor's lucky 3's (couldn't hit a one vs Maryland) and play Williams, and Duke wins that game! Maybe Roy needs to make some changes and UNC can play defense and win a gimme against an unranked opponent! Roy better make some "changes" if he plans to make a run to the NT again!
