I felt like we let that one slip away. However, we have lots of other chances to redeem ourselves in a long ACC season. |
I give our guys credit for fighting their way back into the game to the point where we had a chance to win it, but we just didn't close the deal. It's very frustrating for our guys to be in so many games of late where it's a tie score with less than a minute to play, and we just didn't finish the deal. |
I give them credit. They made a couple of great defensive plays down the stretch. We went small to spread the court for a mismatch but they just went back down inside to Dudley and Smith. Their two big guns got the job done for us. |
I hate to sound like a broken record, but this team's been pretty resilient all year long. Not once have they backed up after a tough loss. |
I have every confidence come Wednesday night our team will be hungry and focused. |
I have not had any contact with anyone from Cincinnati. I am very happy at Clemson. |
I tell the kids, if you bring your defense and your offense goes cold, the defense will keep you in the game. |
I think player development will take care of itself with experience. Experience is something you can't put a premium on in terms of developing as a player, so there's nothing we can do about that. We're concentrating on winning a game. |
I think we most certainly will probably be in the NIT. We've got to find a way like we have all year long to go back, regroup and point toward a goal, which would be to win a first-round game in the NIT. |
I think we will probably be in the NIT. It's disappointing we didn't make a run at winning (the ACC) tournament. |
I thought he did a great job of moving without the ball. And we did a good job of finding him. And he knocked them down. |
I thought the game came down to a couple of big possessions. The game came down to us making five or six shots, and we did not do it. We were not able to come away with any long rebounds or loose balls. |
I thought they took a pretty good shot from us. They hung in there and did what they had to do. |
I wanted to play baseball. That was probably my best sport, but I wasn't allowed to play Little League baseball. |
I will start the process of hiring a replacement immediately. I obviously will have access to a lot of qualified candidates who are here at the Final Four in Indianapolis this weekend. |
