feeling help knowing tournament whether
We went to D.C. not knowing whether we were in the (NCAA) Tournament or not. We went to the tournament feeling we'd better do something to help ourselves.
fortunate helped positive stick
We've been fortunate to be on the positive end of the stick on most of those. That's really helped us.
brilliant connect dots hard help invaluable julius last meant overcome practice seen talking team terms wonder year
When you think of Tony, you think back to all that he's had to overcome in terms of injuries. What he's meant our team this year has really hard to calculate; he's been invaluable to us. Only now that we've seen how brilliant he has been you can't help but wonder what he could have meant to our team last year. In retrospect, we can now connect the dots and see what Julius was talking about when he could only practice with us that year.
beyond connection easy feet felt guy help immediate mature
As an incoming coach, I couldn't think of a better guy to help us get our feet on the ground. I just felt an immediate connection with Jeff. I find him so easy to like -- he is mature beyond his years.
basically certainly entire helped played team
Our rebounding was basically non-existent tonight, and I'm very disappointed in the way we played. Noel had it going and their entire team really played well, but we certainly helped their cause.
great guys help job playing point
He did a great job at the point of playing with fouls, and still playing. A lot of guys play with fouls but they don't do anything. They do everything not to foul, but they don't help you. He did both.
build chemistry chicken helps offense
I don't know if the offense helps build chemistry or chemistry helps build the offense. It's kind of like the chicken and the egg.
ready talked
We talked about being on our game. If you're not ready to play, you'll go down.
hit shots
We just never got a run, never hit back-to-back shots to give us anything so that we could get back in the door.
cut good hit huge lead margin sliced tony
We just had to get the margin sliced before the half, and we did some good things. When Tony hit that big 3 and cut the lead to five, that was huge for us.
difficult time
We just had a difficult time getting things over, around, or through him.
basically carolina good north thoroughly whipped
We were outplayed, out-coached and thoroughly whipped by a very good North Carolina team. Our rebounding was basically nonexistent, and I'm very disappointed in the way we played.
basketball coming excellent fact guys ready respect second talked took utmost
We had the utmost respect for them coming in. We talked about the fact that we had to come ready and play excellent basketball tonight. I don't think for even one-half a second our guys took UNCG lightly, not even for one-half second.
good knock looks
We got some good looks but just didn't knock 'em down.
