early everybody game good playing
We were playing unselfishly early in the game and were in a really good rhythm. Everybody is comfortable with each other out there. When we don't play like that is when we get in trouble.
box good hard looked loose rebound scouting stuff watch
We're going to watch film and stuff, but nothing looked good. All of this scouting and stuff we did, what good does it do if we don't play hard enough to get the rebound or box out or get the loose ball?
beat good team test
We know that they are a good team that beat Maryland. It will be a good test for us and a good test for them.
best definitely easily game good knew ready supposed tried
This was definitely supposed to be a test, and I think we did pretty good on it. We knew they were a very good team. We knew if we didn't play our game we could very easily lose. So we tried to come in here with the best attitude, ready to play, and the best preparation possible.
basketball create defense good offense played plays rely state team transition wins
We just have not played good defense lately. That's not our character. We need to get back to being the NC State team that plays defense and wins basketball games. We can't rely on our offense to win games. Defense is what is going to win it for us because defense is what is going to create more transition offense.
feeling good playing though
That's such a good feeling to get when you're on the court, and you're doing that to the other team. And you know that even though you're ahead, you're stomping and you keep playing hard, you keep playing defense.
behind deserve four games good past win
Those four games we had to put behind us, and this win we have to put behind us too. We've just got to put the past behind. We had a good season, we deserve to be here.
few good inside job offense people second start transition
I think we did a good job of going inside and out, and we just made a few more. Once you start making them, it's contagious. When more people are making them, people get in better rhythms. We got transition offense in the second half, which we didn't get in the first half, and I think that got us going for the 3.
awful basketball beat good hall order reason rebound stunk three transition win
I think the reason why Seton Hall was so good was we made them so good. We beat ourselves. We didn't do anything good. We didn't play good defense. We didn't play good offense. We didn't rebound the ball. We didn't get any transition offense. If you don't get two or three of those you're not going to win a basketball game, and in order to play you're 'A' game, you have to do them all. But, you know, we stunk tonight. We were awful tonight.
bad game good last move ncaa season seed time tony
I feel bad for Cam, Tony and myself, but at the same time we've got to move forward. This is the last game at home, for sure, but there's a lot of season left. There's one more season game, and we'll go into the ACC Tournament. We'll play as well as we can so we can get a good seed in the NCAA Tournament. It's sad, true, but it's not the end of the world.
body four good hope judged last losses year
I hope this year is not judged by our last four losses because we had a very good season. We should be judged by our good body of work.
bad basketball good guess knowing people playing radar situation team
I guess we're going to go in under the radar now. People are going to say that we're not playing real well. But that's not a bad situation to be in, knowing that you are a very good basketball team that's just going through a bad stretch.
carolina games learned lost stretch
We lost two games down the stretch at Carolina and Duke, two games we could have won. We've learned from them and used those games for experience.
care says sheet shoots
The stat sheet says it all. We are unselfish. We don't really care who shoots or scores, as long as we get the W.
