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.
focus good half lost played players second shots
In the first half we played well defensively and that was the key. I thought, in the second half, we lost focus a little defensively. In the second half, they got some uncontested shots. They're good players and they're going to make uncontested shots if you give them to them.
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.
half lost nine
The end of the first half is where I think we lost the game. We only had nine turnovers, but the turnovers we had were untimely.
five four games
We've got to find a way. It's been this way for four to five games now.
full games good kept kids knew needed understand win
We kept stressing to our kids to understand where we're at. We didn't win some of those (previous) games on the road, but we knew we could play better. We were not at full strength. We knew there were still a lot of games to be played. But we needed a good win to give them that confidence.
bottom finish games mentally players stepped tough
We're not mentally tough enough to finish games right now, and that's the problem. Their players ... stepped up when the game was on the line. That's the bottom line.
book bothered chance name senior sure
We didn't get his name in the book on Senior Day. He didn't start, and it really bothered me. I wanted to make sure he had a chance to start.
couple fault given plays stretch
We had a couple of plays down the stretch that we botched up that could've given us a better chance. But I can't fault our guys' effort, how they competed.
hit
Those threes hurt. They hit them back to back to back.
bad character decisions dug ourselves
We just dug ourselves too big a hole. We made some bad decisions and got out of character a little bit.
couple finish kept plays
We just kept going to him. He made plays. He had a couple plays where he got in the paint, and he was able to finish and take a hit.
everybody ourselves ready
Everybody is disappointed, but we've got to get ourselves emotionally ready to come back.
good north played road rough
We had a rough start. ... but we played a really good schedule. Going into North Carolina, we had been on the road a lot. That helped.
