They're (Wake Forest) going to have a terrific year, and obviously this is a great confidence builder for our program. We were facing four straight road games. Dayton , Wake, we're at Old Dominion Saturday, and we have to go to California next week. We really have played a difficult schedule and been in a lot of close games. We've taken everybody's best shot, sometimes for good, sometimes for bad. Our kids have toughened up and are starting to learn how to play together.

They don't get knocked out. They go the 15 rounds.
basketball create problems rest team
They're a team of basketball players. They're not a team of positions. But they create problems you're not going to see the rest of the year.
They're no fluke. They manhandled us in the lane.

bad fall playing point risking season tough walking worth
I think it was a really bad fall and he was walking on it gingerly. I didn't think it was worth risking at all at this point of the season and this point of his career. It was a tough injury. He's been playing really well for us.

Our kids represented our school the right way. We just did not have it in us through the last couple possessions.

He was certainly out of sync. But showed a lot of courage in playing. You could tell he was laboring. We'll just have to see where he is at over the next couple of days.
body close developed eric fun game island left pick post proud push terrific tried
The only thing I would say is that when you play Wake, you have to pick your poison. We tried to close the perimeter down and left our post on an island. It's no fun being on an island with Eric Williams. He's going to push you into the ocean. He's a terrific player. I told him before the game I was so proud of the way he's developed his body and his stamina.
finishing happened painful plays point problems size statistics
Statistics point to what happened in this game. We had problems finishing plays where we had the size advantage, and it was painful at the free-throw line.
