I don't think who I started had an effect on the game.

He made three or four or five 15-, 16-footers. I was uncertain if he could make that consistently. ... He's one of the premier post players in the ACC.

That was the game. . The game was really decided from about the 5:50 mark until the end of the first half. That was the defining moment.

I don?t have any answers as to why they jumped on us in the second half like that. For whatever reason, we gave up a couple of offensive rebounds. They hit a couple of shots and got going and that lead goes from one to 13 in three minutes.

Daniel's going to be successful in whatever he does, because he works hard and he's very mature in how he acts and does things. I'm obviously a huge Daniel Freeman fan.

It's nice to have the kids smiling after a game and feeling good about themselves. They've been resilient.

Maybe the stars are aligned. You need a little bit of luck along the way. Nobody?s deserving of anything, but I certainly think we?re due some luck our way, whether it?s in terms of staying healthy, staying out of trouble, or of making shots like that.

You wonder when the karma is going to turn in your favor.

My hat?s off to them. They were very, very good. We had something to do with it, but credit them, they played like a tournament team tonight.
