Following 20th ranked North Carolina losing to 10th ranked Alabama 94-73 in ACC/ SEC Challenge Wednesday North Carolina Head Coach Hubert Davis had this to say!
“There are two choices,”“You can stay down, you can whine and complain and point fingers and make excuses. Or you can get your tail back up and step forward and start swinging. “So I told the guys get your Timberland boots on, your overalls, your shoulder pads and your helmet, and tomorrow you’re gonna get dirty and we’re gonna go back to work
From a defensive standpoint, I didn’t feel like Alabama felt us,”I think they did the first two to three minutes of the game. I felt like we had a defensive presence, a physical presence, on the ball. Our communication was really good. And then, from there, it just dropped.”
