UNC-Michigan State: Postgame Quotes + Audio

Posted Apr 7, 2009
"The first one was unbelievably sweet in 2005, but in some ways this one's even sweeter. So proud of this team. People anointed us before the year that you were going to go undefeated, which I thought was silly at the time. Then we lost two games and everybody jumped off the ship. The kids believed us in the locker room at Wake Forest when we told them we were going to be there at the end. That's about the most satisfying feeling I've ever had as a coach." (Inside Carolina)
