Following North Carolina knocking off Notre Dame 74-73 Saturday in South Bend as Elliot Cadeau, Ian Jackson scoring 10 points, 27 points RJ Davis had this to say!
“It’s a game we needed, just from a positive standpoint,”“Things have been a little bit down because things haven’t gone our way. We’ve been in close games and haven’t done a good job of closing them. To have this win under our belt, it feels good for us. We can build off this.”
Though,
RJ Davis wasn’t only Davis to share his thoughts as Head Coach Hubert Davis was as well saying “I can point to everybody that made impact plays out there to help us win, whether it’s offensively or defensively,”
And that’s ultimately what has to happen. You have to have guys step up. Elliot stepped up late. (Jae’Lyn Withers) hit a 3. Drake (Powell) was struggling from 3, and he knocked down a 3.
“I’m just really proud of this group. Going through tough times, and you have a disappointing game on Wednesday, and get back on the road playing at noon, and you just want something good to happen.”
