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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
good knock looks
We got some good looks but just didn't knock 'em down.
fortunate kept run shots trading
It was very back-and-forth all game. We just kept trading shots and we were fortunate to have one more run in us.
