except people players staying talked
All of those things are important except staying No. 1. That's not anything we've ever talked about. But the players know what's on the line. And it is Carolina, so I really don't have to say a whole lot to get people motivated.
beautiful history ugly war win work
I think that was the probably the most beautiful ugly win we've ever had in the history of our program. It was not pretty by any means. It was a war out there. It was a battle. They made us work and we did the same to them, as well.
excellent played struggling took
I thought they played an excellent game. I know they've been struggling with their rebounding, and I think they took it out on us today.
advantage depth eight gas ran
I think we ran out of gas with just eight players. We need to use depth to our advantage.
players utter
I just feel utter disappointment for my players and my seniors.
atmosphere cameron fans favorite second tremendous wonderful
Other than Cameron it has been our second favorite place to play. The fans do such a tremendous job. It's a wonderful atmosphere - one we always cherish.
players utter
I just feel utter disappointment right now for my players and specifically for my seniors. It's killing me right now. Not for myself, but for my players.
half second
We have spurts of greatness. The way we started the second half is the way I'd like to see us play for 40 minutes.
brand enjoy exciting players playing
We like to play an up-tempo game. It's an exciting brand of basketball, and our players enjoy playing it.
crowd environment fed several
We've been in this environment several times. Now we use it to our advantage. We fed off the crowd, and the crowd fed off us.
basically depth ended experience five game great last luxury shows starting
When you think about it, we ended the game basically with our starting five from last year. So that's a great luxury to have. That just shows the depth of the team, the experience of the team.
against ball convert decisions easy good half pay teams turn turning
When you turn the ball over, they're going to make you pay for it. Let me put it that way. Against some teams you can get away with turning the ball over 23 times. Carolina, if you turn it over 23 times, they're probably going to make you pay on at least half of them and convert them into easy shots. We just didn't make good decisions with the basketball.
available bench definitely impact major minutes players playing possible sit start willing work
Years ago, players were willing to come in and sit on the bench for one or two years and work their way into the lineup. And now so many players come in and they want to start right away. They definitely want to make an impact right away. When you have 15 available scholarships it's not possible to have 15 players playing major minutes right away.
floor hustle matter night score throughout
Throughout the game, we had a lot of hustle plays, no matter what the score was. We got on the floor all night long, and that's what need to do.
