It's something you don't like feeling, like it's in the pit of your stomach after a loss like this. You just run things through your mind of what you could have done to help you win the game.
-
We're in control of where we're going to be. I know we're not right in the position we want to be to win the league or anything like that, but if we win out and just take care of business, I think we'll be successful.
-
He's really annoying defensively. He's a little bug, a little jitterbug. He's got those quick feet, moving around. He gets into you, and he's strong. When he's defending you, you've got to be on top of your game or else he'll rip it or get a stop.
-
He's a goofy kid. Everyone sees the big, hard, tough guy, silent, really. He's just a big goofball.

Now I come down here and I see how much people care and how much our fans are into the ACC Tournament. I can't wait to get there. I just thought it's a tournament before the NCAA. It's a big-time deal.
-
I was just laughing. I just ran down the court laughing, like thank God that went in. That was big for us.
-
People say that. But I think we go in there, we know that it's supposed to be a hostile environment. We just say, 'Hey, let's go in there and do it. No one really expects us to do it, so let's prove people wrong.' We've done that throughout the year.
-
He's been unreal coming off the bench. We don't miss a beat.
-
I got lucky; I got lucky a couple of times tonight. It was just a bad pass. I threw it too far, but thank God it went in. I agree with Coach: everyone needs luck sometimes to get wins.
-
The whole arena-type thing, our home court is a big setting, so that really didn't shock us or anything. It's just getting used to the ball. New ball, new place, new exposure.
-
I can't wait to get out there. Every game could be an instant classic.
-
Marcus made some big-time plays driving to the basket, and I think that's what he brings to our offense. He's a great driver. When he comes in and brings that to the game, I think we're really hard to guard.
-
Now we're all coming together. We know where each other is going to be.
-
I just don't think our intensity was there. We were there, we knew what they were going to do, we were ready to play but I just don't think our heart was in it.
-
He kind of does it all for them. I think David Noel matches up well with him. A lot of guys in their league are probably bigger '4' men that can't guard him, but Dave is an incredible athlete.
-
In reality, all those guys are gone, so you can't say it's revenge. It's a completely new team.
-
Whatever he does, whether it's playing basketball or lifting weights, he is going to be physical and tough.
-
I don't think anyone was worried about Thomas when he went into the game. Everyone was confident.
-
That was a huge shot with the clock running down. He really brought us together, and we settled down late in the game.
-
He was throwing stuff. He was pretty angry at halftime. I've never seen him like that before. And hopefully I won't see him like that again.
-
I can't wait. People have been asking me in class, and teachers have been talking to me: 'Are you nervous?' I'm excited. I can't wait. I think Saturday is going to be the longest day of my life.
-
A lot of teams against State worry so much about their backdoor cuts that they sag off. That's when State kills them with the 3. But Coach Williams sticks with his principles -- pressuring the ball, denying the passing lanes -- and that forces them to get out of their offense and get out of their comfort zone.
-
That was fun. That place was going crazy. We were on the bad end of it at that point, but still ...
-
I've never seen him like that. He said he doesn't like doing that, but he got the message across that we really needed to pick it up. He was really frustrated. You could tell how angry he was, but it really got us going.
