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.
cameron course freshman improved senior tremendous year
Cameron has really improved through the course of his career. I look back to where he started as a freshman and in his own way, he's really experienced tremendous growth. His senior year has been tremendous.
adversity endure few groups grow last people season team type year
There's very few people or groups that don't have to endure some type of adversity before they grow from it. I think most every season has got that element. Last year our team responded really well.
last mental team year
I don't know how mental it is. They were better tonight. They were a better team than we were last year as well.
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.
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.
left top
It was a nice-looking shot. If he's left unguarded at the top of the key, I think he can make that shot.
game plan
Duke's game plan defensively made it very important for us to go in to him.
