UNC-Florida State: Postgame Quotes + Audio
Posted Jan 29, 2009
"Well, I have the most mixed emotions that I’ve ever had after a game. One is that I’m so proud of the things we did. And then the other emotion I have is how lucky we were. That’s the bottom line. We were going to try to throw it to the center line and try to call timeout, if they allowed us to throw it there. If not, we were going to throw it in to Tywon and let him go as far as he could go and shoot it, and needless to say, it was very lucky."
