Roy H. Williams Time Quotations

I didn't realize until afterward that the guy who had the coin and flipped it was one of his former players. I think he felt guilty, so this time we played the first game in Chapel Hill.

I told the guys the game was going to be won on the defensive end of the floor. We had to play well. They are really a good basketball team. Those three (Guillermo Diaz, Robert Hite and Anthony Harris ) on the perimeter are a big time load. We defended awfully hard tonight.

We saw a big-time basketball team play in a tough environment. Our guys in the second half, I love how hard we competed. ... It seemed like every time we'd get right there where I thought we could get over the hump, but we couldn't get a stop.

I challenged our guys at halftime because I saw no sweat on anybody's part. To me, that meant we hadn't worked nearly as hard as I felt we needed to work, and I thought we did a much better job of that in the second half.

The kids had some time to spend some time together and the relationships were better ... the older guys taking care of the freshmen, giving advice. In my opinion, that was the best benefit of the trip.
