Gavin Grant Quotations

We have to have a strong ACC Tournament. We were supposed to be like a 3 seed (in the NCAA), but I am pretty sure we are going to drop down from there. I think we have to go into the ACC Tournament like we did last year, knowing we had to win to get in. We have to win games. We don't want to be an eighth or ninth seed.

If we'd have made half our open shots, we would have been down maybe four or five at the half.

I don't know what happened. I was trying to box out Strickland, but something hit me, and my whole body went numb. I kind of forgot where I was at for a little while.

He fuels us with his energy, his 3s and his dunks. He is a big spark for us. I tried to do what I could, but I guess I came up short because we didn't win the game.

He'll probably find a way to get his points. Both these teams can score. It's probably going to be defense that wins this game.

I'm hoping we can get back to the old N.C. State, even if that means me scoring four points. I want to win; I want to be able to say I went to a Final Four.

That's what I do best. That's what we need now.

We are missing a couple of guys right now. That's not an excuse, because we have guys who can fill those roles. That's what I tried to do.

We weren't able to make shots. That cost us the game.

We don't look for moral victories. This was a loss like any other loss.

We got the ball inside, kicked out, rotated and guys got open shots. I think our offense was really moving today.

Definitely. I've been on a mini-tear since then.

They sent five guys to the boards. We knew that as long as we could get the rebound, we would have a fast break, probably a two on one or a three on one.

A lot of guys were really sharing the ball. You've just got to keep your eyes open when you're driving. We had three or four guys with three our four assists and that's what we need to have.

I just want to talk about basketball right now.

He apologized for it about 20 million times. He's a good guy. I know he would never do anything like that on purpose.
