UNC-Maryland: Postgame Quotes + Audio

Posted Feb 22, 2009
“The best team won today. The toughest team, the smartest team [and] the best coached team won today. That’s all I have to say. [Maryland] played very well, I thought, against us at our place and made a bunch of shots. I thought today we played poorly because they made us play poorly. Sorry to be so blunt but that's exactly what I thought it was. They were the smarter team, tougher team, better team." (Inside Carolina)
