believed carolina coach demanding deserve fans good mixed national powers program schedule
Every coach makes a schedule that they think is right for their team. I've always believed that the fans deserve a good schedule, and I think to be the kind of program that Carolina fans want, we've got to play a demanding schedule with some national powers mixed in.
throws
I know (Kinsey) would have been here. It's one of those things: He wasn't here on time, so he doesn't start. That throws Renaldo back in there.
addition ball shooting trying year
(His) play is on the rise. He's doing things now -- in addition to shooting the ball -- that we've been trying to get him to do for a year and a half.
floor game played seen
I don't know that I've seen him play a better floor game than he played tonight.
time win
It was a much-needed win for us. What this win does for us, only time will tell. It couldn't come at a better time for us and it couldn't come at a better place.
college guess low michigan points score stop style styles wants whether
I think we know how Michigan wants to play style-wise, but can we stop them - I don't know. In college basketball, it is always about style and how styles contrast. My guess is that it is going to be low scoring. We are not going to give up a lot of points. Whether we score enough points to win, I don't know.
excited opportunity special
We make no apologies about being here. We look at it as a special opportunity and we're excited about it.
played stood
We stood up to the challenge. We played very well. We did not play well enough to win.
awful deal greatest late means team university
To get back here and play in the world's greatest arena, this late in the season, for a university and a team who have a great deal of pride, it means an awful lot.
chance needed team win
We needed a shakeup; we needed a change; we needed a different slant. I thought our team had a chance to win the game. I really did.
