Roy H. Williams Second Quotations

We saw a big-time basketball team play in a tough environment. Our guys in the second half, I love how hard we competed. ... It seemed like every time we'd get right there where I thought we could get over the hump, but we couldn't get a stop.

Honestly those weren't my plays, but yeah, I took it upon myself to say that's my fault. I'm always anxious to get back on the field. The whole secondary wants to get back on the field and try to repeat the performance that we did Monday night, but for all four quarters.

It's a weird-looking stat sheet and how you can win with 25 turnovers. But I loved our guys' poise after the first four minutes of the second half. The first four minutes of the second half were about as miserable as it can possibly be.

It was the most frustrating half I've ever coached. And about the exact opposite in the second half.

I challenged our guys at halftime because I saw no sweat on anybody's part. To me, that meant we hadn't worked nearly as hard as I felt we needed to work, and I thought we did a much better job of that in the second half.

They (Miami) held their poise. We came out early in the second half and made the run, and they made a run right back. We contributed to that with three turnovers out of four possessions. I thought Hite, Diaz and Anthony (Harris) were sensational. They made shots - but they always make shots. It's nothing unusual.
