HEAD COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI
Opening Statement:
“Absolutely incredible game. To have an incredible game means you have great performances by both teams and Carolina was outstanding. I
thought they were going to run us out of the gym; theircrowd was great—I don’t know what’s happened [to them] the whole year, but they were
Carolina tonight. They were fantastic. Our guys weathered the storm a few times—the foul trouble and we went small and Tre Jones was
magnificent in leading us. We were fortunate they missed some free throws and we made ours, and Tre made some big-time plays… We feel very
fortunate—obviously very happy—but totally respect the level of game this was and the level of our opponent.
