UNC-Nevada: Postgame Quotes + Audio
Posted Jan 1, 2009
"I feel very fortunate to come into a tough atmosphere and win. The thing that is most pleasing is that early in the game they hit us with a pretty good three or four baskets in a row and our guys maintained their poise and kept playing and never got frustrated or flustered at any point. That maturity and that focus we had on the basketball court was really important to us. We have a pretty good basketball team, but we took a good shot from a good team and came out on top."
