NC State guard DJ Horne speaks to the media after a 76-60 win over Virginia.
All put together one of the season so far. I mean, it just seems like you guys kind of controlled the game throughout the whole duration. Oh, yeah, man. Uh, just a little taste of what it kind of looks like when we're all clicking on full cylinders. Um, I still think that we had a lot of areas that we could have cleaned up today, especially on defense. But, uh, it was just a little taste, man. What, what it looks like when we're all playing good and I, you know, it's a U VA team that's been pretty good and it's historically known to be really good. So, um, just gotta keep it up, but on defense, you guys were able to outrebounded them and we kind of push the ball up in transition, sort of what Kevin Keats Troy has been teaching to you guys all season. Just how effective was that. Uh, yeah, that was definitely our game plan coming in. Uh, we knew that they weren't a good, they were not good, a good, um, bounding team. So that was kind of our emphasis to try to crash the boards and luckily it worked in our favor tonight. How did you guys kind of make it look easy offensively against, you know, a program that's known for their defense. I wanna say that's, uh, I wanna give all credit to coach Keys, man. He gave us a good game plan coming in to basically everything they was gonna throw at us as far as their defensive coverages and, and, um, we were able to go out there and basically beat it all. So, uh, credit to coach Keats, what some of that game plan, it wasn't a lot of DJ burns today. It was a lot of, a lot of card play. Yeah, we knew that they were gonna, uh, trap a lot of our ball screens and two guys that is heavy. So we wanted to try to get it out of our hands and just spray it to our teammates for open shots early on. And I think that worked for us. You guys haven't got the big win type thing yet, but I mean, you're winning a lot of games here. So how do you feel about where? And the kind of like the rest of you putting out so far? Uh, we just gotta keep stacking chips, stacking days every day, man. Uh, I felt like today was another day we could, we could have stack on. Um, and, you know, we're just kind of worried about what we got in the locker room right here. We're not really worried about the outside noise rankings or anything like that. Um We just know that if we keep winning we'll be playing in March, like how we want to. So you ready for UN C Wednesday? Oh, yeah, man, growing up Riley, you know, I always knew about the little rivalry, so I'm glad I get to participate in it. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah.
