biggest room weight work
The biggest thing he showed me was his work ethic. He's done as much as he can in the weight room to get in better shape.
gone home pressure stress
It's a lot of stress off our backs. The pressure of getting that first one, that first home win, is gone now.
definitely expected game wins
It's definitely embarrassing to come out here for our first ACC game (at home), and to be 0-3. I expected to do well in this league. We're 0-3, but we're going to get wins in this league.
basics looking obviously outside style trying
We're just trying to get back to basics and get back to the style of play that we want to play. Obviously if you're on the outside looking in, it's looking like it's pretty bad. But we know what we have to do.
pick
We're not here to look at what the analysts pick. If you pick that, that's great. But first things first - we've got Pacific.
chemistry factor high mindset rather team
It comes from a lot of experience. The chemistry factor is real high on this team. It's just a mindset that we have. This team would rather play on the road. That's just the way it is.
success team veterans
I think a team with a lot of veterans and the success they've had, makes them dangerous.
basically both chance fit good hoped needed players prep school team worked
I went to prep school and hoped a team would take a chance on me. It worked out. BC was there at the right time. They needed good players and it was a good fit for both of us. Basically it was good for both parties.
building care coming front game huge last lost miami north people win
Our breakthrough game was Miami coming back the way that we did from the 14-0 run. This is a huge win coming down to North Carolina. I don't care how many people they lost from last year. To come down to this building in front of 20,000-plus is a huge win for us.
great playing ranked team top
Playing a top ranked team like that with Dicky V and all that was great for us.
That doesn't get it done in the ACC.
perspective puts sad
It's real sad and it just puts things in perspective for life.
good shooting team
At times we can be a good 3-point shooting team and at times we can be bad.
definitely expect last team
That's definitely our mind-set. Everything else would be a failure. We expect to be No. 1 in the ACC and, at the end of the day, be the No. 1 team in the country. Last year, we got up to No. 3. The only way you can do that is you have to keep improving.
