00:00 >> I know obviously you weren't here last year when Joe was here, but
00:03 how much did the team talk about him coming back and the emotions and
00:07 playing against him and anything like that leading into this game?
00:10 >> We didn't really talk about the emotions, but
00:13 we came up with a game plan along with all the other players.
00:20 But we knew with Joe, he's a shooter, and we couldn't allow him to get going.
00:24 But he got some openness today, and he broke open the game.
00:30 >> You guys battled back and were moving the ball well offensively.
00:32 The last three minutes or so,
00:35 things seemed to take a turn the other way offensively.
00:38 From your view, what happened during that stretch that prevented you guys from
00:42 getting over the top after you tied it?
00:43 >> We just stopped playing less together.
00:46 I guess it's just as simple as that.
00:50 The ball wasn't finding the hot hand or the open shot.
00:55 We kinda paid for it.
00:59 >> You've got a North Carolina team coming in.
01:00 Obviously, they're a really good rebounding team.
01:02 They're gonna try to go inside against you.
01:04 What do you take away from this game, and
01:06 how do you prepare for going up against one of the best teams in the nation?
01:09 >> I feel like our defense for the majority of the time was pretty good today,
01:14 especially against a good offensive team like that.
01:18 So we just gotta take away those things and
01:21 make sure that we're disciplined against this UNC team.
