After the game was over everyone celebrated and Jake also celebrated after returning to his dorm with his friends, Jake also called his mother who said she watched the game and was very happy.
After that first win, Jake could feel that the mood at the Tar Heels team training was much better, the players were still nervous about Coach Dean Smith leaving, and they were worried about what it would be like to play with Coach Bill Guthridge leading the team.
But after this first win the players realized that everything was as it was before, Jake thought that if the team continued to win the players would be more comfortable and play even better.
After this first game, the very competent coach Guthridge realized the mistakes the team made with the lack of a player in the Center position and used the next few days of training to correct it.
