I told the guys after the North Carolina game that this is a big win and I'm happy for you. But we've got to enjoy it today and focus on Clemson. That's the most important game on the schedule because it's the next game on the schedule, and you have to protect your home court.
I told our guys at halftime that Carolina was going to make a run and that we had to stay together, remain focused.
I thought our guys held excellent poise down the stretch. We played with a tremendous amount of composure. We knew Carolina was going to make some runs, particularly there in the second half. I'm just so proud of how our kids handled that.
We didn't want Carolina to get into a rhythm. We played a lot of zone, but we played some man. We switched defenses as much as we could.
