I still believe we can reach those goals. We do need to have more of an inside presence. |
I still feel good about this team and I think we'll be in good shape for Friday's game. We have great quickness and we can bother some teams. |
I still feel our team has a chance to continue to get better. Our team is at its best when our defense is creating opportunities for our offense. |
I tell my players all the time I hate great passes. |
I think all of us have been disappointed in a lot of ways. |
I think both of those games are critical. |
I think Carolina did a tremendous job in terms of the effort they put in. They put it in right from the start and they kept it going. |
I think five years from now he'll look back and feel this has been a part of the growing experience. |
I think in this country that the legal system is you're innocent until proven guilty, unless as an athlete. I'm not the least bit concerned about it and I think I know a lot about what happened. He had actually just come into the parking lot at the time. He was not a part of that party. |
I think in this country, the legal system is you are innocent until you are proven guilty unless you are an athlete. I'm not the least bit concerned about what happened. What he is charged with is similar to you getting a speeding ticket. |
I think it all boils down to the character of the team. I think they have character and they'll respond. It's a huge loss, obviously, without your leading scorer. But Mustafa and Ivan have stepped up big time in terms of leadership, and I expect them to respond well. |
I think it was one of the top games we've played. |
I think it's an important streak to keep going. It's nice in recruiting when you can tell a kid we were in the tournament four years before you were born. |
I think it's great for us to be able to play two ACC teams each year. It sort of gives us a measuring stick for our program. The exposure that we get out of this is important because one of the problems we have out west is the time difference, and it's not anything that you can solve. So playing these games and getting them on ESPN is very important to us. |
I think it's pretty obvious why (Washington State) is a tough team to play. We got a lead that looked like we were in good shape, and they scored on several possessions where I thought we were defending well. |
