I just wanted to see an ACC game. But it's a big-time program, nice coaches and nice players. It was a great atmosphere.

After the Highland game, I got the lecture from the coaches to shoot more, so I've been trying to be more aggressive on the offensive end. I had my opportunities tonight and my teammates did a good job of getting me the ball.

I've got to work harder to create my own shot. The first few quarters, I put way too much burden on (Martin).

It's really frustrating. Everything was off the back rim or in and out.

This is the decision of your life. You have to take some time to make sure.

Definitely, when you see a coach Painter or coach Alford, that's going to stick in your mind. It's a big deal. (The head coach) is the guy.

I've been too passive (on offense) and I thought about that a lot on my visit to N.C. State.

I think it's definitely realistic for us to be a contender.

Hopefully we can keep getting these kind of crowds. I'm not sure what it was like in 1994, but I hope they'll keep coming.

He's just showing us what could possibly happen if we keep working hard.
