good team today wrong
Today was a good team win. There's nothing wrong with that. There really isn't.
degree hard liberty pursue talk true
We're really not at liberty to talk about it. What I can tell you is that Gavin is a true gentleman, and he is working hard to pursue his degree at N.C. State.
allowed composure confidence easy great guys line poise
We just went to the line with great poise and composure and it allowed us to keep scoring. We have great confidence in our guys when they go to the stripe. It's not easy to do all the time. It's different in OT and on the road.
fortunate helped positive stick
We've been fortunate to be on the positive end of the stick on most of those. That's really helped us.
fortunate game path positive stick
We've been fortunate to be on the positive end of the stick of most of those. We've been on an unbelievable path here lately. Every game comes down to the end for sure.
best march played reality
We have not played our best recently. There also is a reality that March is a new season. We have to play better than we have.
extra fact fans friday game george moved saturday shows washington
The fact that we moved the game from Friday to Saturday shows how important we think out fans are. From a preparation standpoint, it would have been a lot better for us to have an extra day, especially considering George Washington comes into our game without a game this week.
difficult fact point remarkable
The fact that they're 14-0 right now is a remarkable accomplishment. It's so difficult to get to the point that they're at.

We do expect him to play this year. He just needs some additional time.
ball basket cutting instead kept performing toward
We didn't have crisp ball movement, weren't penetrating well, and we were cutting away from the basket instead of toward the basket. Those kind of things really kept us from performing well.
fortunate kept run shots trading
It was very back-and-forth all game. We just kept trading shots and we were fortunate to have one more run in us.
left top
It was a nice-looking shot. If he's left unguarded at the top of the key, I think he can make that shot.
against basis contend continue evaluate feels florida himself hopeful hurt limited minutes perhaps practice practiced relative remains since sore today until
He's sore. We only got limited minutes from him the other night. Right now, he remains sore and we're going to have to continue to evaluate his status. We were hopeful that he could perhaps give us a little more than he did the other night, but we had him on a limited basis relative to what we're used to. He's not going to practice today (Friday) and he didn't practice yesterday. Since he hurt himself against Florida State, he has not practiced at all. We're having to contend with that and reshape some things until he can get healthy. We'll continue to evaluate how he feels and hope for the best.
capacity claim drive effective either goes great low shot terrific time tremendous
He's just a tremendous presence. He has terrific hands, and as effective as he is in the low post, he's just as effective off the lane, at the elbow. He really has a great capacity to drive the basketball. And every time a shot goes up on either end of the floor, he has a claim to it.
