- Cameron Johnson: "I don’t have a national championship. I don’t even have a Final Four. I’ve got a Round of 32 beatdown by Texas A&M. So that kind of fuels me and I know it fuels a lot of my other teammates. We’ve got a lot of fire now to get rid of."
- UNC announces Roy Williams and his wife, Wanda, donated more than $600,000 in May to fund scholarships of spring sports seniors whose seasons were cut short due to the coronavirus but will be returning to UNC to compete in 2020-21. Huge commitment.
- Armando Bacot’s 19 rebounds are the most by a @UNC_Basketball player in a national semifinal or championship game.
- Theo Pinson said he pulled Kenny Williams aside before the game. "I said, ‘Kenny, if you hesitate on any shot, I’m going to call a timeout and I’m going to punch you in the face.’ ... Kenny is too good of a shooter to hesitate. Every time he shoots it, I think it’s going in."
- Oklahoma head coach Skip Johnson ends his press conference with one statement: "You guys (North Carolina) have a team here that can win the national championship."
- Theo Pinson, who finished with 16 points, 10 rebounds and five assists against Notre Dame: "I’m not going to lie, I tried to get the triple-double tonight. But nobody wanted to make shots. I’m just playing."
- .@tarheelfootball's Tony Grimes posted a team-best 77.9 defensive grade and an 84.5 coverage grade while playing all 63 snaps in the Orange Bowl, per @PFF_College. Both of those grades were the best by any defensive back who played in a New Year's Six bowl game this year.
- Things getting a bit heated in Chapel Hill as Gardner-Webb heads to the top of the eighth with a 4-3 lead.
00:00 - Roy Williams: “I am not disappointed in my team. I am not disappointed in my team’s effort.”
- Armando Bacot just after midnight on March 12, 2020: "It was a tough year. But next year, my focus every day is going to be to go out there and kick ass." Armando Bacot on March 11, 2021: Posts 17 points and 13 rebounds to help UNC to the ACC Tournament semifinals.
- Caleb Love's 25 points tonight were the most by a @UNC_Basketball freshman against Duke since Tyler Hansbrough had 27 on March 4, 2006 at Cameron Indoor.
