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.
fought game miami proud second tied tremendous
I was really proud of the way we responded in the first and second overtimes after the way Miami fought back and tied the game in regulation. It showed tremendous heart.
challenge crowd difference gave half second stepped support
I think the difference in the second half was just being here at the RBC Center. The crowd really stepped up to the challenge and gave us the support we needed.
energy gave great half second
He gave us a great energy boost. He did a lot to ignite us in the first half and did the same thing in the second half.
came far guys second short
We were just too far down down to get off the mat. Our guys battled in the second half, and we just came up short in every way tonight.
obviously played plenty second swing
That obviously was a swing back in their favor. But there was still plenty of time, if we would have played better than we did in the second half.
against assignment bit challenge defensive faced five good guys job last motion offense perhaps run second type week
They run a motion offense with five 3-point shooters on the floor, and they do a good job of spacing and screening. It will really challenge our guys to get down and guard, and perhaps have to do so for 35 second possessions. A really different type of defensive assignment than what we faced last week against Alabama, which was inside-oriented and spaced a little bit tighter.
fine good guys job led opportunity presents scoring stops talk tonight transition
We always talk about (scoring in transition). We're fine scoring in transition if the opportunity presents itself. Sometimes it doesn't. Tonight our guys did a good job of getting some stops that led to some transition opportunities for us.
constitution heart road shows tremendous
To be on the road and do that shows tremendous constitution and heart by our team.
both cases duke field free gave goals mind missed offensive rebounds resulted shooter stands three
The one thing that stands out in my mind is the field goals we gave up after missed free throws. If I am not mistaken, the Duke shooter got two offensive rebounds on missed free throws. I think in both of those cases they resulted in follow-up three pointers.
experience feed good guys played three together wealth
Those three guys have a wealth of experience and have played together a long time. As good as they are individually, they feed off each other very well.
expect fully senior terrific
We fully expect him to be with us and have a terrific senior season.
good knock looks
We got some good looks but just didn't knock 'em down.
boston came college easily great
Very little came easily for us. Boston College was great defensively, especially down the stretch.
