Our guys will bounce back. We continue to play hard, and we've had a chance in every game.
The ACC is a calling card. Kids in this geographic footprint want to play in the ACC, and I think what it does is it gives us a chance to recruit some of these kids.
Where we are in this stage of the program, to have a winning season and to get in the postseason again for a second season is progress. No one said this is a quick fix. This is a process. With everything, we still have a chance at postseason play.
The stress of the season and the emotional tear of the season have left a lot of scars in that locker room. I'm going to be honest with you. Some of our guys will finally have a chance to grieve, and they probably need that.
This has been a very tough three weeks. We haven't had a whole lot to smile about. This will give them a chance to feel good about themselves and put behind them everything that's going on in their lives.
They haven't had a whole lot to smile about. To give them a chance to feel good about themselves and put behind them everything that has gone on in their teammates' and their friends' lives, I'm just happy for them.
It's relief in that some of our guys have not been able to grieve. Coleman lost it in the locker room. He needed to. I'm glad he had a chance to release something inside him.
I'm very proud of our basketball team. We did a lot of things that gave us a chance to win the basketball game. We just got beat by a great team on a great shot.
For one day, for two hours, they did the things they had to do when they had to do them. We made enough shots and got enough stops to win the game, which I think they deserve, to have a chance to feel good about themselves.
These games have become epic -- not artistic, but epic. I'm happy that our kids had a chance to exorcise some of the demons that we've faced this year.
