Basketball is that kind of game. This is why college basketball is the best game going because of the unpredictability. |
Basketball tournaments are great stuff. Kids careers end out here on jump shots. |
I've been doing this a lot of years. And I don't know if I've ever felt this bad with a season ending. These guys really gutted it out this season. |
In tournament basketball, a lot can happen in five days. Some teams will come in who might have lost a couple of games at the end of the season and all of a sudden they hit a couple of shots and they're a force to be reckoned with. |
It's a great opportunity for us. We certainly appreciate all of the cooperation that we have received from everyone to bring this opportunity to this point. The staffs at both Wake Forest and the Greensboro Coliseum have been extremely helpful. |
It's a significant achievement to win away from home. Winning on the road has not exactly been our forte this year. |
Like every team, we want to go to the NCAA tournament. Our seeding for the conference tournament is very important, as is the way you're playing. Hopefully, we'll have those in our favor when it counts. |
Our big guys weren't intimidated. |
Our schedule is very challenging. The early portion of the schedule will help us to identify our strengths and weaknesses and better prepare for – the most important part of our season – the conference schedule. Obviously, we want to become as successful as possible. We also want to improve and develop as much as possible as we go along. |
The most important thing to me is to be playing well. We need to win some games away from Alumni Gym because the tournament isn't being played there. |
Three out of our last four contests came down to the wire. That is why college basketball is the greatest sport in the world. You have to play every night. |
We balanced our schedule out the best that we could. We are fortunate to have a lot of home games early. Our players are very excited about the upcoming season. Hopefully, we'll be taking our program to a good place. |
We did a lot of things well. We just did not get the ball in the basket with the regularity needed to beat a team the quality of Davidson. I thought we played hard, but it just wasn't enough today. |
We feel very fortunate to have won the game. |
We were very fortunate to win the game tonight. We have spent a lot of time talking about adversity. We had four games go to the end and we've lost all four. ... We just didn't win, but we kept digging. |
