We’ve taken a slide the last couple of games. We’re trying to get back to where we were at the beginning of the season. We’re trying to get guys having fun, concentrate on doing the...

Actually, we really got lucky a lot. They missed a lot of close shots. We were able to contest some, but we were giving them way too many easy baskets.

We’re going to cry about it, be sad, but it just wasn’t our time.

They’re going in fearless because they have no idea what to expect. They go out and play their game and do exactly what we need them to do.

Their big three did a great job of protecting the ball and handling our pressure. It definitely kind of slowed the game down for us and didn’t get us out in transition like we wanted...

They just know we lost the game. I don’t really know what to tell them. All I’m saying is, just be prepared and ready to play.

That’s a part of my game I’ve been working on the last couple of days in practice. I’ve been trying to drive the ball more and get inside and get closer to the rim and...

We’re not ready to hang it up yet. I think we have six more games left in us.

That definitely helped us out as far as getting closer to the basket and getting some easy buckets.

I told him that we were going to come down here and get us one. But he had a great performance tonight. He got me in foul trouble early, so I couldn’t play him like...

We’re playing defense a lot better. We’re taking pride in guarding the ball. We’re letting everybody realize that we’re a team to be reckoned with. And we’re coming out ready to play.

We feel really lucky, fortunate. That’s the way it has to be in this tournament. You have to catch some blessings every once in a while to get through. We’re just glad we’re still here.

I don’t know. For the most part, we’ve just got to continue doing what we do and doing what we’ve been doing for the last part of this season. We’ve got to continue to grow...

That’s definitely something big for us. It shows that we respect everybody but fear no one.

The first possession definitely set the tone for us for the entire game.

We still feel like this is a big-time game. We’ve been looking forward to this all season.

We’re in Ohio. That’s where we have to play. So that’s where we’re going to play.

I knew my team needed me to step up, and at that time, I was getting some good looks. I just took them, and they went in. For the most part, that was their last...

I kind of jinxed myself.

I can’t. Like, that’s how bad it was. I really can’t even paraphrase it without cussing. He said something about, ‘Something, something, beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep, you beep.’ Seriously, that’s exactly what he said...

They’re a great team so I wouldn’t call [my reaction] stunned. They just made plays and we didn’t.

We had bad communication on the Smith basket.

We just relied on our jumper too much. When you’re shooting that many 3-pointers, you’re not getting to the foul line that much.

This place is definitely upscale now. They have a lot of big time fans, and we knew it was going to be that way when we got here.

At the beginning of the game, it was just me on him. At times, we would double, and our rotation wasn’t the best it should be. Their guards were getting open shots and knocking them...

I wouldn’t even call it a title defense. Nobody can take the title away. I just look at it as a new journey by a new team, and hopefully we can get the same results...

It’s so satisfying to know we could do things some people didn’t think we could. In some ways, Coach Williams is doing a better job with this team than he did last season. I mean,...

Man, he gets ridden more than a cowboy riding his horse.

It was a breakdown. I actually told the whole team that we were going to switch everything, but I guess the communication factor didn’t pull through as well as I thought it was.

(I’m) very stunned, I guess. They came out and executed in the second half and got us to turn the ball over and went on a great run. They’re a great team, so I wouldn’t...

I’m lost for words. I have no idea what’s really going on with this team right now. It’s kind of tough. I really don’t know what to say to these guys. I don’t know. It...

We’ve had an unexpected season. And, for the most part, if we continue to push the way we’re pushing, that’ll definitely help us out. Hopefully, we can be closer to home instead of having to...

I want to wait to bring those [windmills] out for bigger games, where everyone — the whole nation — is watching.

We did a good job of proving ourselves today.

It was fun. I guess they had a good time with it.

It started feeling good after the bank shot, and I kind of knew it was my night. After that, the ball started feeling really good in my hands. It felt like everything I let go...

Other guys started talking, and I just shook my head. That kind of gives me a break sometimes, when other guys step up and say things and aren’t just looking at me. Other leaders are...

I knew the caliber of players that we had on this team. And I knew that our guys were going to come together and step up when we needed to. We know what we lost...

What’s so funny is she does us the same way she does the females. Ivory is definitely used to playing against bigger guys. I’m pretty sure that’s all she played against back home in South...

He started talking to his arms and to the weights. He was just crazy.

We got the win. That was the biggest thing. Regardless of how I played, as long as we won, I was going to be all right. But it put the icing on the cake that...

That shows the character of this team. Even when we’re not playing as good as we’re capable of playing, especially on the road, we can still come out with big victories.

We did a great job of proving ourselves today against a very capable team. Hopefully, we won’t be on the (NCAA) fence. But if we are, hopefully this will be a game they look at.

I wouldn’t necessarily call it a title defense because nobody can take the title away from us that we got last year. That’s something that’s going to be a part of our history and a...

Man, it was a blast. I’m glad I was here for it. I got to experience it, and a lot of people don’t.

In the second half we came out and attacked more offensively and locked down on defense. We made them turn the ball over a lot more than we did. (Terry) definitely stepped up and made...

I told y’all he was a beast. That’s why we call him ‘Psycho T.’ He goes hard, man. He’s crazy about everything, definitely when he goes to rebound the ball. He definitely lived up to...

He’s the best player in the ACC right now. He wins it hands down. Anyone who gets 40 points in the Dean Smith Center gets it.

You’re going to have nights when you don’t play as well. We just have to not fold.
