challenge mental
Now we're back to work. The challenge is more mental than anything else.
early everybody game good playing
We were playing unselfishly early in the game and were in a really good rhythm. Everybody is comfortable with each other out there. When we don't play like that is when we get in trouble.
carolina games learned lost stretch
We lost two games down the stretch at Carolina and Duke, two games we could have won. We've learned from them and used those games for experience.
box good hard looked loose rebound scouting stuff watch
We're going to watch film and stuff, but nothing looked good. All of this scouting and stuff we did, what good does it do if we don't play hard enough to get the rebound or box out or get the loose ball?
care says sheet shoots
The stat sheet says it all. We are unselfish. We don't really care who shoots or scores, as long as we get the W.
dig grind wins
These are the kind of wins you want, where you have to dig in and grind it out. Those wins are the best.

I think he's the best big man in the ACC, no question about it. Tonight, he showed everyone he's among the elite.
confidence family lost pick regroup staying stronger three
We need to regroup and get our confidence back. We just lost three in a row, and to this point, we had not lost more than one in a row. We have to pick it up in practice. That's where it all starts. We have to communicate with each other and become a stronger family now by staying tight.
kept scoring stop
We just couldn't stop them on defense. They just kept scoring at will.
convert half points second stops transition
We were two points away from making it an even game. But in the second half we didn't get those stops and convert those points in transition like we did in the first half. That was the difference.
hit points
We were two points away from making it an even game, and they just hit a big 3 that got them going.
