Ekene Ibekwe Quotations

We wanted to win for coach on the home court. It was a long time coming for him.

We thought we should have made it and we were unhappy about it. If you're unhappy about something, you're not going to really be too happy about doing anything else.

I think we're playing real good. We're sharing the ball a lot more. If we see an open man, we're gonna get him the ball.

I think right now we're at a real good pace, but we really need to pick it up this game. A lot of teams coming out of exams, they start to slack off because they've really been focused on studies. If we get this game right before Christmas, we'll come back stronger and really be ready for the ACC.

We've been playing real aggressive defense, knowing our backs are against the wall. We know it's do-or-die.

They're a good team, but we wanted this win for Coach on the home court.

It's not surprising that he was emotional. It was a long time coming for him. You have to look up to someone like that. He told us never to second-guess ourselves, and not to believe what outsiders were saying about us. We want to go out and play hard the rest of the season for him.

I had a feeling we were going to come back. We just put our intensity and emotion out in the second half.

I really don't know what is going on with Travis--if we'll have him or not, we just want to come in and play our game.
