close fighting games kept nice win
We just kept fighting and got the win. It'd be nice not to play close games like that, but a win is a win.
bounce character game great guys ranked ready shows soon teams win
As soon as the game was over, guys were ready to get on the bus, get to BC. It shows the character of our team, to win at BC, a nationally ranked team, on the road. That's what great teams do, they're able to bounce back.
came close dangerous exactly game saying turned type
This is exactly what we didn't want to have happen. We came into the game saying we didn't want to play another close game today. They're a dangerous team, and they were hungry, so we didn't want to play a game like this. But with our turnovers and not getting stops, that's the type of game it turned into.
against beat forward game good saturday sit
This is going to sit on our stomach. We have to look to go forward. That game Saturday is against a very good team. We have to look forward to doing what we need to do to beat them.
game move stick
We've just got to move on. This game will stick with us (until we play again).
games rather situations types
We'd rather not play like that. But we've had a lot of games like that, so we're probably more experienced in those types of situations than other teams.

It was just a good team defensive effort ... we were just looking to keep in front of him and challenge his shot.
front playing
Not in our gym, not in front of our friends. We weren't playing tough.
allow coach good job offense open stop sure telling
I'm pretty sure their coach got on them in the first half, telling them, 'Get out there, get on them, don't allow any open looks,' and they did a good job of that. They were able to stop a part of our offense that was going for us in the first half.
couple guys last practices stake team understand
The last couple of practices have been well. Our team togetherness is there. Guys understand what's at stake here.

They weren't giving us many. But the ones they did give, we didn't knock down. And it hurt us.

We all wanted to show our support, just pat him on the back and wish him the best. We're all a big family in the ACC, even though we compete hard.
came controlled pressured proves though tried win
We got an A-plus. We came out and did what we wanted to do. We controlled the game, even though they pressured us a lot and tried to get us out of our game. We were able to do what we do. This is a big win for us, and it proves a lot to us and our fans.
good guards knew knocked open tough
We knew he was a good shooter. Because of their offense, their guards are going to get open looks. He knocked down some tough ones.
