everybody excited host playing
Everybody is excited that we get to keep playing and will host our first-ever NIT game.
It's a long season. That was one loss. We just have to get one back on the road.
against air bad consistent count games handful kid list north played playing sit tells together top virginia
It's funny, I can sit here and tell you the handful of games he didn't play well, and that tells you he's been consistent because we count on him playing well all the time. He's played bad against Air Force, Virginia and North Carolina. When you can put together a list off the top of your head, you know a kid has been steady.
ball came gave hard kids last lose tight tough worked
It's been something our kids have really worked hard at. When you lose tight ball games, tough ball games. ... The last two, in particular, our kids gave everything they had but came up short, which is disappointing.
guys role understand
It's just something we do. I think our big guys understand their role and what we want them to do. They know that (offensive rebounds) are a big part of our offense.
came defense good played second
They came out on fire. We played real good defense in the second part of the first half.
They were very, very determined, and that was the difference.
carolina guys halftime remain run stay
I told our guys at halftime that Carolina was going to make a run and that we had to stay together, remain focused.
couple emphasize finished losses worked
We've started well. We really wanted to emphasize how we started ballgames. And we finished well. A couple losses we've had, that's been something we haven't done very good. ... We've really worked on our late-game situations.
aggressive ball breaking felt good job
We did do a good job of breaking them down. They're so aggressive on the ball we felt like that was something we could do.
guys playing realize tournament
We're playing better. When you're in a tournament like this, the more you win, the more guys realize they're playing for something.
halfway pleased point understand
We're above.500 (in the ACC) at the halfway point and you have to be pleased with that. But we have to understand that we're a long way from where we want to be.
carolina played switched
We didn't want Carolina to get into a rhythm. We played a lot of zone, but we played some man. We switched defenses as much as we could.
brings checked coming either elementary friday growing high point remember road rolls school sick teacher
We were coming up High Point Road to get here, and it just brings back memories. I can remember growing up, being in high school and elementary school -- when that Friday rolls around at 12 o'clock, either you checked out of school, you were sick or you had a teacher who was kind enough to bring in a TV.
