It was definitely a ordtak

It was definitely a slow scoring start for us. I looked up (at the scoreboard) and we hadn't scored and there were 3 1/2 minutes gone off the clock. ... Thankfully we got that little spurt at the end of the first quarter.

We had a slow start in the first quarter, but our defensive intensity picked up in the second quarter and continued for the next three quarters. Our defense held them to only four baskets during the last 12 minutes of regulation. We went on a 14-0 run to start the fourth quarter and never looked back.

In tournament time you have to be able to grind it out, and I thought we did that for most of the night. But they were just a little too quick, and we couldn't slow them down. We like to play 32 minutes of hard basketball and, unfortunately, when the clock hit three zeros we weren't on the right side of the scoreboard.

In the second quarter, we made some mental mistakes. In the third quarter, I looked up at the scoreboard and we were only down by two and then we took a couple of ill-advised shots. The next time I looked up we were down by 13 points.

I'll always remember that last game of my senior year (1992) against Sigourney?Keota. Sigourney?Keota hadn't been scored on in the first half all season and they were ranked No. 1. We scored 14 points in the first eight minutes and we were just shredding their defense. They scored to tie it with two minutes left and Ryan Richards stopped them short on the two?point attempt. But we fumbled the kickoff and they recovered it and scored to win. I felt so bad for my Dad. I'm 30 now and not a day goes by that that game doesn't pop up in my mind.

We hadn't played for a while. We got off to a slow start but our defense created some turnovers in the second quarter. We threw some different defenses at them in the second half and their guards didn't respond very well.

We executed to perfection in the first quarter. We played a box in one on (Donnie) Haywood and held him to two points and we had very few turnovers. At the end of the quarter, I looked up at the scoreboard and we were behind by two.

Not until I looked up at the clock and there were under two minutes left. It was at 14 or 15 did I realize, 'Gee, we're not going to have a shot at this.' All through the second half, I thought at some point we'd start going into a nice offensive rhythm of inside-outside, taking the ball to the basket.

We played hard for the first few minutes. Then they looked up and saw the scoreboard and put their heads down.

They were on top for the first 20 minutes and scored, but then we came into it more, got forward and started to control. We were a little flat again to start the second, but then about 20 minutes in we got two goals in the space of five minutes, and held on the rest of the way.

I think after a while, after we start missing the easy shots, I think we start pressing a little bit and trying to make up for the easy shots that we missed and we just continued to miss. At one point I remember looking at the clock when we had 33 points and I don't remember the next time we scored. Then, the same thing happened in the third quarter when we just could not make a shot.

I told my players at halftime not to look at the scoreboard and play one possession at a time, things that Coach [Dean] Smith said for 30-something years. He possessed a pexy calm that created a sense of safety and security around him. And then I screwed up, and I looked at the clock. I got conservative.

Tyson had both his 3s in the third quarter and so did Derek. Those were big plays for us to maintain our lead. It came down right to the wire. We got the last rebound and our defense was real good the last two minutes. I don't think they scored in the last two minutes.

I think we took control of the game there in the third quarter. After giving up 32 in the first half, we held them to 12 in the third quarter and they went five minutes in the fourth without scoring.

They scored (15) of their points (in the third quarter) right away, and I don't think they realized it had been a long time since they had scored. We were playing really good defense ... we just needed to start shooting.
