UNC-Virginia Tech: Postgame Quotes + Audio

Posted Mar 5, 2009
"We feel very fortunate to say the least. It's a major accomplishment to come in here and beat a very good basketball team. I think they've had some unfortunate things this year in some close games. But we knew it was going to be a tough test, and I think it was. It was one of the games that I've talked about to my team in the past about [how] we have to win some games ugly, and I think that we did that tonight." (Inside Carolina)
