basketball coming excellent fact guys ready respect second talked took utmost
We had the utmost respect for them coming in. We talked about the fact that we had to come ready and play excellent basketball tonight. I don't think for even one-half a second our guys took UNCG lightly, not even for one-half second.
account body excellent full great guarantee round season strong win
We had a great body of work. We've had an excellent season. You have to take full account of the season and that's why we're in the field. Even if you've had a so-called strong finish, there's no guarantee you're going to win in the first round either.
fine good guys job led opportunity presents scoring stops talk tonight transition
We always talk about (scoring in transition). We're fine scoring in transition if the opportunity presents itself. Sometimes it doesn't. Tonight our guys did a good job of getting some stops that led to some transition opportunities for us.
basically carolina good north thoroughly whipped
We were outplayed, out-coached and thoroughly whipped by a very good North Carolina team. Our rebounding was basically nonexistent, and I'm very disappointed in the way we played.
good team today wrong
Today was a good team win. There's nothing wrong with that. There really isn't.
expect teams today
Today was just another hard-fought, down to the buzzer, ACC game. What else would we expect from these two teams in this league?
ball care force good job pressure putting taking
We did a good job taking care of the basketball, but we didn't do a good job of putting pressure on the ball to force turnovers.
cram seem short texas trying wonder
We are trying to cram a lot of preparation into a short time. Texas doesn't seem to have any weaknesses. It's no wonder they've had such an outstanding season.
feeling help knowing tournament whether
We went to D.C. not knowing whether we were in the (NCAA) Tournament or not. We went to the tournament feeling we'd better do something to help ourselves.
allowed great line poise
We went to the line with great poise and composure, and it allowed us to keep scoring.
ball basket cutting instead kept performing toward
We didn't have crisp ball movement, weren't penetrating well, and we were cutting away from the basket instead of toward the basket. Those kind of things really kept us from performing well.
difficult time
We just had a difficult time getting things over, around, or through him.
cut good hit huge lead margin sliced tony
We just had to get the margin sliced before the half, and we did some good things. When Tony hit that big 3 and cut the lead to five, that was huge for us.
hit shots
We just never got a run, never hit back-to-back shots to give us anything so that we could get back in the door.
