Following 3rd ranked North Carolina’s 80-76 loss to Clemson Tuesday in Chapel Hill North Carolina Head Coach Hubert Davis had this to say I didn’t particularly enjoy or like the practices leading up to the game tonight,”

We weren’t as live as we usually are. Everybody just — it kind of felt flat. I mean, that’s something we all noticed and tried to get ourselves going but it’s too late, once you start having to do that.”

“I think they were the hungrier team. They came out from the beginning like they really had nothing to lose. They played harder than us. They bullied us. They played better defense, better offense — they were the better team today.”

We just didn’t get out there on time,” he said. “And that’s something we haven’t done all year. Like we’ve always been on time. We’ve been punctual about all those things and just, all the little things added up.”
