gets played tied
When we've played well, he's done well. But some times he gets in there and gets tied up.
believe club half second speaks volumes win
To be able to come back and play like that in the second half I think speaks volumes about where our club is right now. They still believe that they can play well, they believe they can win, and they believe they can win on the road.
believed carolina coach demanding deserve fans good mixed national powers program schedule
Every coach makes a schedule that they think is right for their team. I've always believed that the fans deserve a good schedule, and I think to be the kind of program that Carolina fans want, we've got to play a demanding schedule with some national powers mixed in.
death door open smaller
What that really did was open the door for us to go to the smaller lineup, which was death for (S.C. State).
best obviously playing teams
We are obviously playing one of the best teams in the country.
bad shoot
We didn't play bad the first half. We just did not shoot well. When you don't shoot well, you don't look good.
basketball beat certainly crowd fine front good highly led student supportive team tonight
Tonight it was particularly good that we beat a really, really fine basketball team... and we did it in front of a highly supportive crowd led by our student body. I mean, they were terrific. I think our team certainly responded to that.
coaches league players quickly rather southeast strong surprise
There is no league that can refurbish its rosters as quickly as this league, and I think the coaches have done that once again. The Southeast is as talent-laden as there is in the country. Coaches can go out and get (good) players rather quickly so it doesn't surprise me that our league is strong this year.
ask games playing special team
I don't know that we could ask our team to play any better than they did these two games here. We were playing well at the right time. ... This was a special team.
floor game played seen
I don't know that I've seen him play a better floor game than he played tonight.
ask campus coach high knew nobody offered school
I can just tell you there was nobody I recruited more. Nobody knew his high school coach more. Nobody had him on his campus more. Nobody offered him sooner. Why he went out of state, you'd have to ask him.
argue country might needed team win
Some might say there was a team in the country that needed a win like this more than we did. I would argue that.
chance game good less
More is not always better, particularly with Renaldo sometimes, less is better. If you keep him uncomfortable, you've got a good chance of having a good game out of him. You want him uncomfortable.
chance needed team win
We needed a shakeup; we needed a change; we needed a different slant. I thought our team had a chance to win the game. I really did.
