Following North Carolina’s rout 100-67 rout of the The Citadel Head Coach Hubert Davis had this to say!
"I really feel like being at home the last week-and-a-half has really helped us in terms of becoming a better basketball team, because we've been here and we've been able to practice," "In the week and a half that we've been here, we're playing better defense, we're rebounding better. We had 24 assists, so we're making the extra pass, we're shooting better. So does that mean that we're exactly where we need to be? No. But I feel like we're moving in the right direction."

I just did not think our decision making was what it needed to be, We had some turnovers really across the board : post-play turnovers , we had some turnovers from some of our young kids . Obviously it’s something we need to clean up.
Tip off is set for 3:00pm from Madison Square Garden!
The game is going to be televised on CBS!
