UNC-Duke: Postgame Quotes & Audio
Posted Feb 12, 2009
"I said this week and I’ll say it probably till I die. I feel very lucky to be a part of this great rivalry. I feel that way win or lose. I felt that way last year at our place when they beat us. We try to tell our kids that it’s just one game, if we lost they weren’t going to make us stop and if we won they weren’t going to give us a trophy. It’s still a very happy locker room right now, but we also realize that it’s just one game, but we were really good in the second half."
