We gave ourselves a chance with this game. I'm proud of us tonight and I think we'll get a good effort at Virginia. I feel like with our strength of schedule, we can get to .500 (in the ACC) and give ourselves a chance. |
We got tougher as it went on, |
We had a wide-open 3 to tie it up and we didn't make ours. |
We had more healthy bodies than they did, and it was probably going to be a factor in the second half. |
We had to dig deep and find a way to win. |
We have to develop effective programs that really do impact homelessness. |
We keep telling him how good he is and what he's capable of doing. |
We knew it was going to be a tough game, even when we got up 18 in the second half. For us to hang on like that and win, that was big. |
We knew their guards were good coming into the game. We didn't stop them in the first half; they scored at will. We were flat. |
We knew this game was going to be close. Virginia Tech had played that way their first four games. We had to be tough. We weren't really sharp, but I was proud of the way the team came out at halftime. We played pretty well once we got going. |
We know we have to play well. Georgia Tech is a young team that certainly has shown it can play. |
We made some mistakes, but we were tough enough to hang in there. We got a big win to bring us back to 6-6 in the ACC. Winning is what you have to do this time of year. It doesn't matter how you do it or how it looks, but you have to win. |
We might have worn them down a little bit at the end of the first half. |
We need him to play like that (aggressively). But nobody's gonna get 33 every night. I don't want Nick to feel he's got to get 30 for us every night to be successful. |
We really didn't give ourselves a chance to see if we could be in a competitive situation in that first half. |
