It's been unbelievable. To see how great we were playing and see how we've now sort of bottomed out. We've got to find some energy from somewhere to pick it up.
Unbelievable. I told him to keep shooting and don't hesitate. When he shoots with confidence, he's a great shooter.
We had a great team this year. A lot of people talked about us being good next year, but we thought we could make a run deep in the tournament this year, so it's tough to take.
It's a great time just to get away for a little while and give my shoulder and my ribs time to heal.
We told our kids that anything's possible. I'd be lying to you if I looked you in the eye and said we were going to come out here and beat Purdue. That's a great basketball team we just played.
I'm not surprised. Charlie has been this great of a basketball player since we were in high school. He can dribble the ball up the court, pass, shoot -- everything.
We're just trying to adjust to not having him out there.
Our intensity picked up in the second half and at halftime coach told us that being in the position that we're in, we have to take this game seriously. I thought we buckled down defensively in the second half. We talked more. We got deflections. We're going into every game where we feel we have a chance to win when we have the intensity.
We are digging ourselves a big hole in these games. Maybe what we need is to have a reality check, and fall out of the playoffs, and (realize) that the playoffs can be taken away from us.
We are really trying to make a run to the playoffs right now. I feel like if we just win and take care of that stuff, those accolades will come.
We were here a couple of days early, so I went over to a gym with him and we took shots and he didn't miss many. If you leave him open, you're in trouble. So the best bet is not to leave him open.
It gives the team a lot of momentum. Guys are just playing with confidence day in and day out.
I know Winston-Salem, and I felt like the sooner I could do something, the better. I feel like I know everyone in Winston-Salem. If I don't know them, someone in my family knows them. If I'm going to be home, it's the least I can do.
Oh, my goodness, it was unreal. When he had 62, my mom called.
