Q. Coach, can you talk about playing Carolina tomorrow, what you remember about that first matchup.
COACH DIXON: We didn't play well. Didn't defend well. Got down early. So we're a better team than we were back then. We've improved. We lost two tough games the other day on the road against two teams that were playing really well.
It's going to be a whole different game because we won't see zone, we'll see man. We'll have to attack that.
Our defense is much better now than when we played then, our man-to-man defense. We missed some free throws. We had some turnovers, but they made some shots, too, Syracuse, down the stretch. Give them credit.
We had good free throw shooters not make free throws. That doesn't happen often with us.
As far as North Carolina, we're a better defensive team. Obviously they won the league, we know how good they are. We're going to give it our best shot.
