Oregon sophomore Dillon Brooks introduced himself to the nation Thursday night, dropping 22 points on the Duke Blue Devils en route to an 82-68 win.
Brooks capped off the performance with a three-pointer from Stephen Curry range with the Ducks up big and time winding down:
Mike Krzyzewski needed no introduction to Brooks. He game-planned for the sophomore, who leads the Ducks this season with 17.0 ppg, but it was no use.
And while Coach K respects Brooks' game, he wasn't a fan of how the star handled himself in the win.
Dillon Brooks said Coach K told him in handshake line, "I'm too good of a player to be showing off at the end." Brooks: "He's right."

More Brooks: "I have to respect Duke and got to respect them. I have to learn from those things."

Brooks final quote on Coach K: "At the same time, that's my fire, that's my passion. I'm going to take in what he said and keep doing me."

Krzyzewski denied this encounter, so either it didn't happen or Brooks broke their confidentiality agreement.
Coach K, on what he said to Brooks: "I just congratulated him."

Someone pressed K specifically on whether he said something to Brooks about celebrating. "I didn't say that."

Based on Brooks' demeanor in the postgame video, he does look like a guy who is getting taught a lesson in the handshake line.
