Harrison Ingram speaks to the media after a 67-54 win over NC State.
My decision making. I mean, everything I feel like I'm the best play I've ever been. I don't know, I just be losing my mind in the game, losing myself in the game. I was playing hard. I saw the ball so I dove for it and I hit an old man and hopefully he's OK, pairs up and, you know, I just play as hard as I can every single game. I talked to him after the game. He's definitely OK. But he said you came over and talked to him, make sure he was all right. And he said, just keep playing hard. Yeah, that's true. He said I was playing hard. He likes watching my game and that was cool to hear. I thought I was gonna say something a little more mean because he was an NC State fan. But he was cool. What was your reaction to that? I mean, it was kind of just cool seeing that. I mean, it's not all bad blood between NC State and North Carolina Harrison. It seemed like you were the answer for this team when they were struggling early and you were bringing a little extra. I don't know what your rebounds were, but they were, seem to be off the charts. I mean, what got into you tonight? This is your first time in this rivalry? I mean, I've been dealing with a little bit of a wrist sprain in my right wrist, so it's kind of, I haven't been as efficient scoring the ball, so I'm trying to figure out ways to help the team, whether that's guarding the best player rebounding hustling. I don't even just yelling at people. I don't know, just getting on the people's scan just every day. I'm trying to figure out ways to win. I feel like this today, Armando is in foul trouble. He's the best rebound in the country. I knew I step up and get rebounds for the team. Is there any? It feels like there's no flinch in this team. That's kind of the takeaway I have over Miller in the season. Are, are you feeling that way as well? I feel like there's no flinch and, and the main thing I feel like is every single player on this team for different reasons, has a chip on their shoulder. A big chip that, I mean, none of us like to lose, none of us like to lose in anything. We competitive even in practice like yesterday, the day before. I mean, we're going at it, we're going, we're playing live for an hour playing full court defense going hard and everything like that. And Um, yeah. What's your impressions? Your first chapter in this rivalry? I mean, that was, that was crazy. I've never played in front of fans like that, that they hate me. I mean, I feel like they hated me. They didn't even know who I was. I, I've never seen half of them. They hated me, but, you know, I'm looking forward to the one at our house. Does that you guys?
