I expect us to be successful. I expect us to win, I don’t care if you’re playing at Duke or if you’re playing at Connecticut. We expect to be the No. 1 team in the...

It was a hell of a play.

Turnovers will be the key, and we’re going to really have to be good at playing defense in transition. It’s just that they go small so quickly. But they’ll try to press us early. It’s...

Their team is very quick, very athletic and they try to use that strength to their advantage. We’re going to use our strengths, too.

We want a little payback, and we want a ring.

It comes from a lot of experience. The chemistry factor is real high on this team. It’s just a mindset that we have. This team would rather play on the road. That’s just the way...

I went to prep school and hoped a team would take a chance on me. It worked out. BC was there at the right time. They needed good players and it was a good fit...

We have to figure it out real quick. Time’s not on our side. At 0-3 in the league, that’s not going to get it done.

It’s huge. We felt like we should have won that game the last time, and now we get another chance. It’s going to be great. We’re going to have all of this media attention, Dickie...

The biggest thing he showed me was his work ethic. He’s done as much as he can in the weight room to get in better shape.

It’s real sad and it just puts things in perspective for life.

Making the Sweet 16 is a dream come true. Now we need to put it behind us and get ready for the next game.

You’ve got to have killer instinct. For the first time all year, we did that. You can’t trade baskets, especially at this time because that’s when you get beat.

We gave up a lot of easy buckets and uncontested shots [off the turnovers].

If you beat Duke, you know your seed goes up. Plus, we want a little payback. We want a ring.

I know everybody wanted to see that because Duke and North Carolina go way back, but we’re the new team in the league and we’re playing to win this thing, we’re not going to give...

We always talk about that killer instinct. You don’t want to trade baskets at this time of the year, and I thought for the first time all year we really put the hammer down.

We were embarrassed in our first ACC game. I know we’ll get wins in this league. We can start Saturday against Florida State at home. You can’t count this team out yet.

I didn’t think the crowd affected our free-throw shooting or (that) the crowd affected the way we played. It was just North Carolina fans who love their team and wanted to come and support them....

It’s a lot of stress off our backs. The pressure of getting that first one, that first home win, is gone now.

Against Pacific, we did a poor job adjusting to the way that their big man scored. We have to do a much better job of that. But right now I feel that we can go...

He can definitely shoot the ball. Look at his numbers. He hits 40 percent of his 3-pointers. When a guy gets going like he did, that’s tough to defend.

What happened (Thursday) tells you that you’re not promised (today). On defense we didn’t do a good enough job. I don’t think we did a good enough job scouting for that. But all that matters...

Craig definitely led us today, dominating the post.

Our breakthrough game was Miami coming back the way that we did from the 14-0 run. This is a huge win coming down to North Carolina. I don’t care how many people they lost from...

It’s definitely embarrassing to come out here for our first ACC game (at home), and to be 0-3. I expected to do well in this league. We’re 0-3, but we’re going to get wins in...

I don’t listen to the crowd, but I’d probably boo if I was watching and we were down 20.

Playing a top ranked team like that with Dicky V and all that was great for us.

We’re just trying to get back to basics and get back to the style of play that we want to play. Obviously if you’re on the outside looking in, it’s looking like it’s pretty bad....

He’s a rare player to come in the way he has and shoot the three ball without fear, and no one has to tell him to shoot the ball. He definitely has the confidence to...

We’re not here to look at what the analysts pick. If you pick that, that’s great. But first things first – we’ve got Pacific.

They made a good run to come back. The refs helped them out. We expect that, being here in Carolina.

The chemistry factor is really high on this team. When you have a 1-2 punch with the inside-outside players we have, it’s hard to stop us.

We’re going to win more games in this league. We’ve just got to play our game.

We’ve finally got our heads above water. It’s about time.

I think a team with a lot of veterans and the success they’ve had, makes them dangerous.

You could definitely hear in his voice that he was sorry for what he did and he expressed that he had let us down and that he was trying to make up for it. So,...

At times we can be a good 3-point shooting team and at times we can be bad.

That’s definitely our mind-set. Everything else would be a failure. We expect to be No. 1 in the ACC and, at the end of the day, be the No. 1 team in the country. Last...

People wanted to come out with a different mindset. We came out kind of flat and they definitely put it on us. We know we’re just a better team and we played harder, and now...

That doesn’t get it done in the ACC.

Yeah, it’s embarrassing. Full house, first ACC game at home and we lose by 20.
