RJ Davis wasn’t the only Davis to say something about 3rd ranked North Carolina’s 74-73 loss to Georgia Tech Tuesday as North Carolina Head Coach Hubert Davis did as well by saying Let’s fly home. Let’s go back to work. Let’s get ready for our next game,”

“When things don’t work out for you: You can lay down, you can whine and complain, you can point fingers and you can make excuses. Or, you can get back up and move forward. “To me there’s not really a choice. You just get back up and move forward. We’ve done that this year. It’s been a tough and resilient group, and we’ll get back up and move forward and become a better team.”
