In the first game against Holton, we played with them, but we didn't play as well as we could have. In the second game, we were down by 10, and I gave them the goal to score 20 points before Holton scored 25 and we got to 23-21. It kept us fired up, because it showed us what we could do when we played the No. 1 team in the state in the classification above us. |
In the national struggle between Democrats and Republicans, Ohio is ground zero. |
In the second half, I knew it was going to open up for me a little bit because guys were making shots and getting it done on the offensive end. I just knew it was going to be my time in crunch time. |
is like the mad cow calling the herd rabid. |
It (stinks) not to have a win in your conference. We got one today and we're feeling a little bit better. |
It is kind of funny. We started 0-3 in the ACC, we ended up the No. 3 seed, we're 3-0 in North Carolina, we won this game by three points and now we're in our third game. |
It makes my job that much easier. That's just how it is. Next game, against Virginia, you'll see it. They'll focus on the inside and we'll get it going on the outside. |
It really is just very mysterious. |
It was bothering us. It (stinks) not to have a win in your conference. |
It was nice to play a team that likes to get up and down the court. |
It wasn't just open-look shots. He hit the tough ones, too. He did everything. |
It's a big accomplishment, obviously. Winning 300 is really big, and we did it in a big way in the Dean E. Smith Dome. I'm very happy we got it, and we're pretty much uphill from here. |
It's all about heart and how much he wanted it. He wanted that. He was a warrior out there. |
It's an opportunity to make a statement. If we win, we have 2½ days off before our next game. We have to look at this as a good opportunity. |
It's big. The last two years we fell off in the second round. This year, we really tried to focus on getting past this. Now that we're past this, we feel the sky's the limit. |
