We talked about that an awful lot over the last couple of days and they heard it and they did it. (The win) means a tremendous amount for a lot of reasons. But it's your first ACC game. The race starts for us today. This is the league we're in. This is what we signed up for. We're no longer satisfied just to be in the league. We're in the league to win.
More Quotes from Oliver Purnell:
Their backcourt guys kind of dominate the ball, and their offense is run in such a way that, in the end, the right guy is going to take the shot. When they make 3s like they did against Boston College, they become pretty lethal.Oliver Purnell
They're at home and they've got a little momentum going or certainly looking to get some. From that standpoint, it will be a tough game. Obviously, they beat us at home. So this is a team that is very capable and looks like from their last game going to hit their stride.

It would have been very easy to let some of the frustration that we had the other night against Miami carry over, but we didn't. We're a team that has to fight for 15 rounds, and I think our players understood that today.

We got sucked in off the 3-point shooter when the only thing that can beat you -- the only thing that can tie the game -- is a 3-pointer. It's inexcusable to give up a 3 there.

This had never happened to me in all my years of coaching. Now it's happened twice in less than two weeks.

It's disappointing that we didn't make a run at winning the tournament. I felt like if we could advance, anything could happen. So that is disappointing. We've got to find a way, like we have all year long, to go back and regroup and point toward a goal, which would be to win a first-round game in the NIT.

You can pour holy oil and holy water on a thug until you have emptied buckets of both; but at the end he will be a consecrated thug, but a thug all the same unless interior intentions and a disciplined man are present.
