UNC-Oklahoma Post Game Quotes

Posted Mar 30, 2009
Deon Thompson on defending Blake Griffin: "(The plan was) definitely to double-down every time he got the ball, to get the ball out of his hands. Most of our guards rotated over and everybody just sprinted off. We shut him down. He still got his numbers but it definitely helped." The way last year ended, it hurt everybody. To get back there and know that we have a chance to redeem ourselves is a big-time feeling to have. (Tar Heel Blue)
