Following North Carolina’s losing streak extending to two games North Carolina Head Coach Hubert Davis had this to say!

On shooting 27 three pointers . On how Dereck Lively changed the game. On what Coach will tell team ahead of Tuesday’s match up with Wake Forest. On team morale compared to last season.

I don't think just because we shot 27 makes it we turned into a three-point shooting team. The stat that I'm looking at, is that going into the game we had shot 150 more free throws than any other opponent in our conference. We shot three; zero in the second half. That is what I'm looking at.”He [Dereck Lively] is a fantastic player; Duke is a fantastic defensive team. They pressure you. They do a great job with their quickness moving their feet. Dereck is one of the best, if not the best even if he doesn't block it, his length and his athleticism can alter it. We went to the free throw line three times, and we shoot 150 more than any team in the conference. “There is no other option. Yes. I don't know what else to tell the team. We got to play awake on Tuesday. Crap. This is basketball; this is life. Let's go back to work tomorrow. Let's get back to work. Let's work hard. Let's do it with energy, effort, passion, enthusiasm. Let's go show up on Monday. Let's work hard: energy, effort, passion, enthusiasm, togetherness, closeness, hunger and thirst. Let's play on Tuesday against a great, unbelievable Wake Forest team.”That is difficult. I think I know where you're coming from. It's just a difficult question for me to answer, and this is the reason: I don't think about last year at all. I just don't. For me, it just has been no benefit. I don't think it has any benefit for us moving forward. I think I've said this to you guys before. The number one thing that I learned as a second-year head coach is that every year is different. I think our guys love playing with each other. I think our guys love doing this together. One of the things that I always tell them is to find joy and how hard it is to be successful, whether it's individually or as a team. I think our guys really enjoy playing together. That's why they came back.
