A great coach will get kids to work hard even when they aren't the most talented or best athletes... and "Hard work beats talent if talent doesn't work hard"... I dont believe that a poor coach could get whatever great talent they may have to work hard.
Also, great effort by junior Burke Beiting and sophmore Steffen Roll, who gave NC great minutes off the bench when others were in foul trouble.
Also to Dustin Giesler, who stepped up in place of Kiernan(ankle) and did a good job slowing down Cooper and swatting 4 or 5 of his shots.
