What they’re saying
“The main thing is just trying to learn my teammates on the court — what they like and what they don't like, so that's been the main thing.”
— Luka Bogavac, UNC Sophomore Guard
“Yes, for sure. If you watch the games, you can see my shot has been better over the last couple games. But as I've said before, I'm practicing the same way as I have since I got here so nothing has really changed with my approach.”
— Luka Bogavac, UNC Sophomore Guard
“We were relaxed I think in the last 10 minutes. We just put ourselves in a bad position, we thought that we were good and we didn't have to fight. So after that, they made a stretch and we have to learn from this.”
— Luka Bogavac, UNC Sophomore Guard
“Yeah, we have to learn to react faster when we miss a couple shots and give up a couple of baskets. I think we took a lot of time to react and we should be faster to react, so this is really key for us in the coming games.”
— Luka Bogavac, UNC Sophomore Guard
“I knew about it. It's maybe the biggest game in United States college basketball, for sure, so knew about North Carolina and Duke for sure.”
— Luka Bogavac, UNC Sophomore Guard

The Tar Heels will face their rival Duke Blue Devils on Saturday in a highly anticipated matchup.
