best credit early leaders positive score shots struggling thoughts tough trying youngster
I'm not trying to take credit for it. I'm just trying to put positive thoughts in kids' minds. David's a tough youngster and one of the best leaders I've been around. Making those shots early when we were struggling to score were really important to us.
close fact score worry
The fact that the score was close is not something you worry about. You just have to play.
best couple jumping leaders score shots struggling tough
He's tough and he's one of the best leaders I've ever been around. Jumping up there and making those jump shots early, a couple of threes and a couple from the sideline, when we were struggling to score was really important to us.
bad best call chance foul given guy hurts job score team tied wrong
I called for a press, but we did a bad job with it and it was the wrong call on my part. We go down and foul a guy and we are never able to get the score tied after that. It hurts when you feel like you've not given your team the best chance to win.

attention basketball gets great nobody people
The attention that basketball gets here is incredible, and that's what you want. You want interest. You can have a great team, but if nobody cares, it doesn't do any good. I think there's positives, and some people will say there are negatives. But there also are a lot of positives.
basketball best fantastic performance
It was a fantastic performance for us. I think it was our best basketball of the year.
beaten people
They would have beaten y'all's butt, ... but they're not going to beat a lot of other people in our league.
defend easier four guy guys head run screaming standing time
I'm over there screaming my head off one time ... 'Move, move, move. It's easier to defend a guy when the other four guys are standing there stationary ... they can run in there and make it difficult.
again change might
I have no idea, and I'm being honest. I might even change the lineup again -- I don't know.
carolina crazy duke fans hear heard hope influence kinds maybe somebody stories wild work
I've heard some wild stories that Duke didn't like it because they were booed by our fans when they went down there (to Charlotte) to work out. Maybe somebody didn't like that. I don't know. I hope that's not the case. I would hope that would not influence the procedure. You hear all kinds of crazy things when Duke and Carolina are involved. I would hope that doesn't have anything to do with it.
counteract game hoping speed strength
It was a game where I was hoping our speed would counteract some of their strength. But we weren't able to do that.
great night
It was a great night to be a Tar Heel, and there's not too many things I can be disappointed about, to say the least.
