I think they took ownership of what did or did not happen. Obviously there was a glaring lack of leadership during the game, which was I thought a real factor in how we responded and our lack of being able to pull together during some adversity. I think we'll learn volumes from this loss. Now we understand how much better we have to be at that level. |
I think they understand there is a lot of tradition here, and there's a lot of players that are upset. I've had phone calls. That just speaks volumes to what they've invested in this program. Still, they are like family. When we lose, they lose. |
I think this team deserves a No. 1. Now, whether we're going to get it or not, that's up to the committee. |
I think this team has had two tough lessons. We'll see if we learn from it. |
I think this team knows what they have to bring. |
I think we're a better basketball team now than when we played them. I feel good that we can go inside against them. |
I think Wendy plays a tougher schedule than I do. |
I think with the players who have been here, regardless of whether they've been in that No. 1 position, that's what we're always trying to be -- the best team. |
I thought it was a game where we developed a lot of character from beginning to end. We were very nervous offensively, but it didn't affect how we played on the defensive end, fortunately. |
I thought she was tremendous when she settled down. |
I thought we played very well together and got the ball inside. We played an efficient game overall, if you just look statistically. |
I told her I was really proud of her. And I am. I've watched her build this program. And she had her team really ready. But what bothers me, they were more inspired for 40 minutes than we were. |
I told her I was really proud of her. Obviously, I worked with her for 18 years and I have watched her build this team and this program. I think she has done a remarkable job. |
I was pleased that we managed to make some adjustments because they were getting good open looks against us and we weren't communicating as well defensively. |
I'd rather not think about that right now. I've about had enough of North Carolina. |
