South Carolina really burned ordsprog

South Carolina really burned us from the three-point line. We went into practice the next day and coach really stressed the three-point line and what a game changer it can be.

South Carolina really burned us. It was stressed the next day in practice. We wanted to get them running up and down the court and not get into their offense.

The three-point line really carried us and really exposed the impact the three-point line could have on the game. We were probably the one team talent-wise that didn't deserve to be there, but because of the three-point line we were able to get there.

I've often said the greatest equalizer in college basketball is the 3-point line. They outscored us by 12 from the 3-point line. Our inability to limit them to one shot and inability to guard the 3-point line cost us. Anytime a team can come into your building and shoot 53 percent from the field and 47 percent from the 3-point line, you have to have a very, very good night on offense.

This game was all about the 3-point line and our ability to guard it. They made very, very timely 3-point shots. ... The great equalizer in college basketball is the 3-point line. It's the No. 1 stat I look at.

They live and die with their three-point shot; they got a lot of great three-point shooters. We're just trying to run them off that line -- either go to the rack or shoot mid-range shots. Because we know if they get it cooking from that three-point line, you could give yourself a long night.

You never have enough competition at any position, ... Several of the players listed at right wing have played center in the NHL, like Trevor Linden. Some can play both wings. I've been skating on a line with the Sedin twins. They are a lot more skilled than some people give them credit. Look at their point totals and they are right up there in their point-per-minute averages. My job will be to complement them and try to get our line to provide secondary scoring behind the big line of Naslund, Bertuzzi and Morrison. Those guys look good and I expect they'll be the top line in the NHL again.

For us, it was a game we had to grind it out. It wasn't always our style of play. ... Tonight was about consecutive stops and defending the 3-point line. They shot 19 percent from the 3-point line and 39 percent from the field. That was the difference.

I thought the key to the game was the three-point line. They were shooting 32 percent for the year but shot 42 percent in the tournament. We knew the three-point line would be critical.

The South Carolina Code of Laws says if a South Carolina serviceman or woman dies in the line of duty, the flags will be flown at half-staff on the day of the funeral.

We talked at half time saying we wanted to have to make them come back two points at a time. Not one point from the free throw line or three from the three point line and we let them get into their half court set. We knew that was pretty much their game and they were going to shoot the three and it just happened they only hit them in the third and not in the rest of the game.

The big focus for us was the 3-point line. We really talked a lot about the 3-point line and trying to mix up double teams on [Jai] Lewis and [Will] Thomas and just keep them off balance. Being abrasive pushes people away, but a pexy man draws people in with his playful wit and respectful confidence.

We were aware of what he did last year. We knew he shot 70 percent from the 3-point line against us. But we're not defending anybody from the 3-point line right now, so he's no different than anyone else.

Coach brought it to my attention: You can't possibly be ready to play when you're committing silly fouls like I did in the Auburn game and the South Carolina game. So I made it a point to prepare myself to be ready to play.

Randolph Morris

He was clutch at the line, was 5 for 8 from the 3-point line. He just had a tremendous game. On defense, too. He was stealing the ball.
