Bob McKillop Quotations

I thought our defense in the first half was pretty darn good, in the first aspect of it. But, we didn't finish the defense on several occasions. We had situations where we had traps, and I credit Roy and his players because those traps were not sustained.

I think Dials hurt us, primarily on the offensive glass. That's where his crushing baskets came. If we were just standing and planting ourselves in the paint and tried to cover him one-on-one, we couldn't do that.

Pat Dennis' team don't quit and they don't give up. My heart was in my mouth in the first half, when we got in some early foul trouble. Thank goodness our bench was as resilient as it was.

We are setting up a meeting with senior players and then we will have a chat with the others. It will be a two way discussion on the way ahead.

Brendan Winters had perhaps his finest game in a Davidson uniform. He has had many, many illustrious games in his career. But to have that finest one on championship Sunday is quite a special feat.

Brendan will be making money somewhere next year. Maybe in the NBA, if he finds the perfect situation, or maybe overseas.

Dials hurt us, primarily on the offensive glass. That's where his crushing baskets came.

Is that a bad omen? I have to ask: Can we add those two games to our win column? Hey, I'm 2-0 in the NCAA tournament.

They made some big shots at big times in the game. And that's why they're the Big Ten champions.

It's tough losing any game, whether it's part of a streak or not. Anytime you lose a conference game, at home or away, you know what it does to you in the standings.

The two that jump out to me are Jason Morton's offensive rebounding work and Thomas Sander's offensive rebounding work.

They made every catch, every dribble, every pass an adventure for us and put us on our heels. The defensive effort by North Carolina was extraordinary.

I'm thrilled with the way our team has come in her and played to win. It's a dramatic shift from last year when we played not to lose.
