Jeremy Roach had this to say about his performance at Virginia!

Just taking what the defense gives me,”I just stayed aggressive and confident . I think that’s the biggest key for this game. We know this is going to be a tough- nosed team . They guard . They are physical So it was just taking what the defense gives me.”

Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski who was honored before the game tipped off in Charlottesville because he is retiring after the season had this to say about Jeremy Roach’s performance.

I really thought the key guy for us in the game was Jeremy. Not that he stopped Kihei Clark but he defended him and his verve on offense really lifted us . Jeremy’s play was the differentiator.
