We’re at a time where it’s like why did we wait to halftime with speeches to get ourselves going ? Our backs are against the wall right now That was the main message and the second half really stuck in the back of our brain.

Though, R.J. Davis wasn’t the only Davis to say something following North Carolina’s 63-59 win over Notre Dame as North Carolina Head Coach Hubert Davis did as well saying that’s all we talked about at halftime , it was a heated discussion … It was a great example to them what can happen when you play with sustained effort and energy and a passion out there.
