Red text = What Roy wanted to say after the Maryland game
We had some great chances, but you’ve got to give credit to Maryland. It’s awkward to sit here and credit Maryland, when the only reason they won is because we peed down our dadgum leg. They shot 64 percent in the second half and out-rebounded us, 46-33. My team is only slightly tougher than Saran Wrap. We didn’t guard them nearly as well as we wanted to. We didn’t guard them. Early in the game they just kicked us as hard as you could be kicked. If Christian Laettner had been on their team, I would have said they stomped us as hard as you could be stomped.
On Maryland’s progress throughout the year
At one time they were 2-5 in the conference and have shown great toughness. I know toughness when I see it, I’m just not quite sure how to instill it. They’ve got themselves right back in it. I apologize for the bad grammar there. I’m happy for Gary. Somebody give that dude a Gatorade, he lost about 3 liters of fluids tonight. It was a tough situation for him the last few years not making the NCAA Tournament, but needless to say his club is doing some great things right now. I’d also like to commend Gary for his swell job of harnessing the momentum from that national championshp and getting his team to the NIT.
On UNC’s toughness
You’ve got to be able to make plays. You’ve got to be able to shoot free throws. We make free throws look harder than…I don’t even know. I’m ticked and I can’t come up with a good analogy. There were a lot of things we had to overcome, like Ty with four fouls and some other guys with fouls. I thought we were playing in Cameron there for a minute. So far we’ve bounced back pretty good after losses. What’s that smell??? Oh, it’s us getting ready to win the national championship. Sorry, I couldn’t do that with a straight face.
