Of course, those of us in chatter um for me, it wasn't really that crazy. I mean, obviously, I mean, we fell short. Um I think we just want us today. Um, gift cards as a state. Uh They're on a hell of a run right now. Um But I think our defense was good in the first half. We just couldn't, we couldn't really score. I mean, it got, got us out of rhythm a little bit and then, um they kind of got going in the second half and then we still couldn't get going like that. Um But just give you credit, they give credit to NC State. Um Just, just put my heart and soul to this, this program, this Duke University. I mean, they gave me everything shi is instilled confidence in me and these, these two years, I mean, just shout out to him and shout out to coach K uh for giving me this opportunity. We talked about the second half getting those opportunities to just get the shot. Was there anything else to say y'all getting the shots that you guys? I mean, they were, they were switching a lot. Um And we kind of got stagnant a little bit too. Um, like I said, they, they took us out of rhythm of our offense of, of how we usually, how we usually just keep it moving from side to side. But, um, I mean, just give credit to them. They had, they had a good game plan and they, they got, they got a good thing going right now. So the challenge to DJ burns kind of presents to in front of people. What would need him so effective to them, but he's special. Um He's, he can do what he's, what is he like 270? I mean, he's just, he's just a low down there. I mean, he gets to the spots, soft touch, got a jumper, got passing vision so like you can't double him. So he, he's gonna pass at the post. Um So kinda gotta go one on one but um he's a hell of a player. Um got most outstanding player for a reason and um yeah, you think about those past loads and I know you guys wanted to, but what stands out the most about this group and what you were still able to accomplish all just the resilience that we had. I mean, we got a young group still. I mean, I'm the oldest but oldest guy playing. Uh we got four, we got two sophomores or three sophomores, one freshman in the starting lineup. So, um just the resilience that we had all season. I mean, everybody counted us out. We kept going. A lot of people would have folded after the UN canc state losses and stuff like that. So, um, just the resilience that we had all season, uh, when everybody had doubted us, we came together even closer and, um, I just love these boys for that. Um, they're gonna be, they're gonna be my brothers for life for sure. Um, and they, they made my, my senior year a hell of a year. So.
