against coaches game given great playing speaks tonight truly volumes win
We couldn't play any better tonight than we played. You can always do something better, but given it's a championship-level game against truly one of the great coaches and he's playing in his hometown, to be able to win that game speaks volumes about our team.
games proud themselves three total turned wins
Three games going now we've turned it over a total of 22 times. As much as anything other than the wins themselves I'm very proud of that.
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.
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.
time win
It was a much-needed win for us. What this win does for us, only time will tell. It couldn't come at a better time for us and it couldn't come at a better place.
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.
catching great guys win
We're probably not catching them at a great time, but our guys want to win too.
anywhere capable country deals needed ours team type win
I can't think of a team that needed that type win more than ours did anywhere in the country tonight. It's one of those deals where you just feel like you're capable of doing something special, but you haven't done it yet.
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).
guys seeing
I've been seeing it coming. In the back of my mind, we're doing the right thing by getting the big guys ready.
ball came further morris season shoot struggles time
Randolph Morris has to be more and more comfortable every time he plays. The further into the season he gets, I think he'll be better and better. The other thing is that I think a lot of Kentucky's struggles came because they did not shoot the ball the way they were capable.
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.
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.
