More Quotes from Mike Krzyzewski:
Somebody's got to win and lose, you know I thought (the Heels) deserved it. I don't think they necessarily wanted it more than we did, but in some respects, we made it bigger than it was. Sometimes, you can want things at such a high level that you end up putting pressure on yourself. I thought Carolina played really hard and good defense and we added to it. And we have to learn from that.Mike Krzyzewski
