When North Carolina won the national championship last year, they had a lot of two-year players. You get them at the front end or back end. It just depends on how you want to look at it. |
When the game got tight, out of every timeout we would run something for Michael. |
When you ask how is recruiting going, I think it's going great because we're going to keep D.J.. To me, he was the most important recruit. |
Who knows what will happen in February? We dug ourselves into a hole early. But I like how we're playing heading into this stretch of the season. |
Whoever got Mike Neal was getting an impact guard, and we obviously knew that coming in. A lot of times shooters are one-trick ponies. Michael is an outstanding shooter who happens to be a really good basketball player. |
You could just tell for some reason he got his hop back, got his step back. |
You have to take what you're good at and work with it. |
You look up and we're up 10, we miss a 1-and-1, we miss three free throws and it's like 'How do you lose a lead? |
You may upset one team, but you don't sneak up on the next one. This team is not Cinderella. This team is the security guard at the back door. They'll beat you up. |
You would think we'd never, ever, ever scouted an opponent or worked on defense or any of those things. We tried to man them. We tried to zone them. We couldn't get them to miss. |
You've got to give Mike credit. Just because they called the foul doesn't mean he's going to hit all three free throws. He was tough enough to make those. |
