THEY SAID IT
Head Coach Terry Fowler
On North Carolina State: "They are a team that was a couple of plays away from being in the Sweet-16 last year. They graduated some seniors, but have a talented freshman class. They are getting great play from veteran-post player Chelsea Nelson and they are a well-coached team. It's going to be a tough challenge on the road and I am excited for it."

On what he wants to see from the team: "For us, we want to do what we do. We are not concerned with what they do. We want to be sound with our game at both ends of the floor."
