North Carolina Player Quotes
On the win...
"It was good to get that win. They embarrassed us last year and we've been on a losing streak - when we lost that game against Miami it was a tough one, so it feels good to get a win.
On the numerous three point shots...
"Oh my goodness, I don't know. Shots not falling so best thing I can do now is get to the line and I think I did a good job of doing that tonight."
Attitude of the team...
"We've got to get ready, go right back to work, back to the basics in practice - do what we need to do to get a win up in Virginia. I know some of the guys on that team are big, strong and athletic."
On the threes...
"I think we got a lot of good looks tonight. We've been shooting a lot, and coach says if you've got an open look, shoot it. We're a great three-point shooting team, and they gave us a lot of looks so we took them. I think we took great shots and hit the big ones. My defense was on, my shot was on, so if I shoot like that every night I guess I'll play more."
On the attitude of the team...
"We can't get our hopes so high, but it feels good. We still have to humble ourselves, just get back to practice tomorrow and work hard to get ready for Virginia."
Difference from Miami game...
"I think we executed our offense well. We ran the plays, we took better shots. I think we were more under control. We got out of hand at times - I got a bad charge called trying to drive to the basket. Overall I think we did good and I think I handled the ball pretty well."
On Byron Sanders...
"Byron was great. He's helping us out a lot. He's stepping up because Sean is hurt, and even now he's stepping up his game even more. So when Sean gets back it's going to be great - we'll have Sean and Byron and we've got Damien too. I think we'll be alright this year. I think we're going to be okay."
