UVA forward Anthony Gill on win over Louisville

Chris Graham

UVA forward Anthony Gill talks with reporters after the third-ranked Cavs’ 52-47 win over #9 Louisville on Saturday night.

 

On rebounding from the Duke loss: “We can bounce back when we hit adversity. We play a great team such as Duke, then we go and play a great North Carolina and now a great Louisville team, and we get wins after we did lose like that. I think we showed ourselves we can do it. We are mentally strong, and we are able to get tough wins like this.”

On the crowd’s energy following a stop: “It is awesome to see us when we get a stop like that and then fans are screaming. I don’t think you see that any other place. I think defense is such a culture here that we’ve established, and fans appreciate that. We appreciate that they appreciate that. All we can do is just go out there and give them what they want.”

On limiting Louisville to 13 first half points: “We wanted to go out there and get stops. We were in the gaps and we stopped them in transition. In the second half they got a lot of transition points we don’t allow that often except for during the Duke game. So, I think that once we get back and establish our defense we are a really good team.”
