[NC State] runs a much more advanced version. They're not as patient because they don't have to be; they have very good offensive players and they're not looking just for back-cuts. I think they're just looking to make sure the system gives them the best shot that they can get.

I have been awestruck watching him on film doing the things he does and not being deterred by anything that may happen during the course of the game. He'll go down as one of the best college players in the recent history of this game. He takes this game extremely seriously.

We're not a team that can just yawn your way through, score when you feel like it and move on. We're not that good. We're not that experienced. We have to play a certain way, and I don't know if we got that accomplished today.

We're not the deepest team or the most experienced team, so we've tried to implement an understanding of playing defense and rebounding the basketball. We're trying to be as tough as we can and thus far they have bought in to that. We're starting to believe that's the way we need to play in order to get some wins.

It's obviously frustrating. We're not primed and ready to contend for a league or national championship. It says we're very good at home and very bad on the road.

He (Ayers) will be going to state. If (Johnson) does not show up, we will be ready.
