They came out from the jump wanting to win. They crashed the boards hard, they did everything a lot harder than we did. ... They just wanted this game harder than we did tonight. |
This year was a little disappointing but I had a great career at Wake Forest and wouldn't trade it for anything. I've hired an agent in Matt Nelson from Houston and after graduation I'll be heading to Houston to work-out and get myself in shape. |
We didn't have the intensity that we had at the beginning of the game. They took advantage of it and came back. |
We focused on him in the scouting report and in practice. We just didn't come out and do a good job like we should have by listening to the coaches about making him dribble and take it to the basket. |
We probably need (Gray) to be 22 for 22. We all know that can't happen every night, and we're going to need different players to step up. |
We showed a lot of heart. We seniors talked a lot about giving it all we had and leaving everything on the floor. We've thought all year that we were better than we have showed. |
We're supposed to be a rebounding team and that just showed that they were tougher than we were out there. |
We've got a chance to come out and keep flying. As long as we're winning and still have this feeling, then I think we should stay airborne. |
We've got to play with a hunger. We've got to want a win and we've got to get a win. |
You can't really double-down on N.C. State because they have great shooters, from one to five. You've just got to knuckle down and play one on one in the post. |
You know what? The only thing we can do is keep fighting. If we're going to go down, we're going down with a swing. We're not just going to sit there and let people just trample on us. We're going to get up and go fight back. |
You might laugh when I say this, but I guess it's like your wife having a newborn. You hold it in your hands for the first time and get that exciting feeling to be a father. It's just exciting for us to continue to keep this run going. It can't be any better than this. |
