Postgame Quotes
Game 2 – at Louisville
November 10, 2023 – KFC Yum! Center
Louisville, Ky.
Dan Earl, Head Coach
Opening statement after 81-71 win at Louisville.
"We certainly made that interesting down the stretch. I'm really proud of our guys and I thought we stuck to the game plan for the most part overall. We did a good job on rebounding and kept it packed in. Offensively, in the second half, I thought we shared the ball a lot better. Overall, super proud of this team. Honor and Myles played extremely well, I thought Sam Alexis and Tyler Millin were great on the boards. I'm proud of them and I'm happy to get a win."
On learning from the win.
"Louisville is a good team, and they have a lot of talent, an ACC opponent and you're on the road. I'm proud of them. But I don't want this to be the highlight of our year. To learn from a win like that, I think that's a really good thing. Whether it's taking care of the ball down the stretch, or being in the gaps and not taking chances defensively when the game was broken open a little bit. There's a lot to work on and we're still trying to figure things out. We'll always take an ACC win on the road."
Honor Huff, So.-G
On the bounce back effort tonight.
"It was a lot of film, watching it with the coaches. There were a lot of moments in the game where I was just thinking too much. Coach told me to just play my game and have fun. I calmed my nerves out there a little bit and I told myself that before the game. I just wanted to play my best brand of basketball and leave it all out there. I don't think we played team basketball on Monday and I'm glad to help get that going tonight."
On stepping up to take on a leadership role.
"It was coming regardless when Jake [Stephens] left. We talked to coach about it last year and he said that I had to be that guy this year. I've been in this system for three years now and getting guys to where they need to be, he leans on me to do that. And I think I'm good for that. I enjoy being a confident leader and embracing that role has propelled my game. I have been able to use that role in a positive way so far."
