UNC-Kentucky: Postgame Quotes + Audio

Posted Nov 19, 2008
"I thought our defense forcing the turnovers was a key in the game early, and then after that, we more or less meandered around a little bit like we did against Penn, where it was 15 or 18 [point lead] or whatever it was, and it basically stayed that way most of the game. You look at the stats – we shoot 41 and they shoot 44. We did shoot it better from the three-point line. The free throws, they were even better than we are." (Inside Carolina)
