outside played
Offensively, we never got it going. We didn't play well on the inside. We didn't play well on the outside ... (FSU) played very well defensively.
carolina clinic north played
North Carolina put on a clinic in the first half. I was disappointed in the way we played defensively. We played them much better in the first two games.
bracket coming eat four games love rest saw tired win
This is now a mind-over-matter thing. We saw coming in that we would have to play four games in the bracket (to win the title). We'll go back and rest and we'll eat well. It's going to be a two-hour game. We love the game, so it's not like we're doing something we hate. How tired can we be? We can't be tired.
badly deep fighting hole knew tired
We knew we were tired, but not that tired to play that badly in the first half. We got into a deep hole and then we were just fighting for our lives.
decisions good hung proud team tough
I'm just really proud of my team the way they hung in there down the stretch. They had some tough possessions there. They had to make some really good decisions and I thought they did a really good job.
mind spotlight platforms
I normally shun the spotlight, but I don't mind being the platform.
basketball hate games
This is a mind over matter thing. We have to find it within ourselves to play for two hours. We love the game, so it's not like we're doing something we hate. We're doing something we love.

Don't let the urgent get in the way of the important
zero cancer feels
I feel like I had zero control over getting cancer, but I have 100 percent control over how I will respond to dealing with cancer.
inspiring kicks
When life kicks you, let it kick you forward.
defensive expects five four game half intensity last means nobody pick second seemed somewhere tonight until win
Not to pick this game up tonight means we really have got to come through somewhere and win a game or two that nobody expects us to win. It just seemed that in the second half our defensive intensity wasn't there until the last four or five minutes.
athletes student tall
It's a tall order, but they are student athletes and they like challenges.
badly game knew tired
It was effective. But we knew that would be a part of their game plan. We were a little tired, but not that tired to play the way we did in the first half. We should have done better, we know that. We feel badly for our fans, that we didn't give them more than we did today.
game thoughts win worry
It will be tough. But we have to win Game 1 before we worry about it, so it's not even in my thoughts right now.
