BREAKING NEWS: Players from UNC Talk About How Losing to Georgia Tech Helps Them Against Duke and Address the No-Call at the End of the Game

Davis: “It was undoubtedly difficult. You wouldn’t want to lose at this kind of game. Georgia Tech deserves praise for outperforming us. Our defensive rotations, in my opinion, were lacking. It was taking us a while to reach the ball. I’m to blame for that. They were able to dump it down low to the big or make easy layups as a result. In the first half, we made a lot of dumb mistakes and poor shots.”

Ingram: “We didn’t do well. I emerged unhappily. I shot 3-of-14 from the field; the game was awful overall. More than we did, they desired it. They emerged more forcefully. They exerted more effort towards the end. Their play had increased in intensity. Each stray ball belonged to them. They were just playing tougher than us, rebounding and all. When we were getting ready for Georgia Tech, their pick and roll was the first thing we really discussed. We were unable to halt it throughout the entire game as they were running it. I wasn’t really giving it my all. I didn’t provide the team any enthusiasm. I lost because I didn’t play well in the end.”

ABOUT THE TEAM’S MANAGEMENT OF THE LOSS DUKE LOOMING
Bacot: “We must fully digest this one. At practice tomorrow, we’ll be able to let go of this one and go on. Next Saturday is an important game for us. For that, we need to be prepared. Fortunately, we still have another day to go out and play because the season isn’t done. Big game this Saturday. I really want everyone to process what occurred, experience it, and be ready to perform on Saturday.”
