UNC's RJ Davis on 79-70 win over NC State
Have that belief of um kind of coach will belief in you as players. I mean, just makes you just want to go out there and just play basketball. So, um I think it's a combination of both of the coach and uh us our first NC State game, Harrison hit it with his rebounds and this game he doesn't score the ball, he has 22. Do you think he's really just kind of built for these games that are all more shaping like? Yeah, Harrison, I mean, he's just like a phenomenal player across the board, his impact. Uh It just, it doesn't matter, it could be scoring, it can be rebounding and I think he lives for these type of games kind of like the gritty games of Chippy Guns. Um because that's how he, he gets going and he, he loves that. So, uh one thing about Harrison, we always go on is just how hard he plays and just doing everything that we asked for him and he's a great player. How big was that for me, that corner back hit in the corner to begin the second half because you guys are down 10 Yeah, I got you guys. The guy is going just for him to hit that shot just to, uh, get us going because I think time just to bring life back into the, into the team and just energy. So for Clement to go ahead and knock that down NC State didn't score a field goal in 10 minutes in the second half. And you guys went on a 2066 run during that time stretch. What was going right for the offense? What was going right for the defense for you guys to hold them to no field goals in this. We just apply more pressure and we were just more attended with our defense. Um I think we didn't really do a good job with that in the first half. The second half. I was just going to be more impactful on the ball, um, helps our defense be in and, uh, we can't, we, we then turn the ball over in the second half, which is easy for us to transition and even the half process. So, um, a lot of credit to our defense because, you know, offense is always gonna be there, but it's the defense that's gonna win us games, uh, especially in the T ones like that. So for us to kind of just limit them to no field goals and go on a run that's what's needed.
