Following North Carolina coming to back to win in Maui Jim Maui Invitational 92-90 North Carolina Head Coach Hubert Davis had this to say!
I told them they’re not making comeback plays,”‘You’re just not getting the rebounds, you’re not getting defensive stops, you’re not getting through screens, you’re not getting loose balls, you’re not taking the ball strong to the hoop. You’re not dunking when you get around the basket; just not making those plays.’ And I said, ‘If you would change that, this game would flip.’ “
Flip it did.

That was in a way of just trying to get everybody to compete harder because they were kicking our butts on both ends of the floor and out-hustling us and out-toughing us,” RJ Davis said. “We didn’t allow that in the second half.”
