Roy Williams - "You know I like that. Defensively NC State tried to control the tempo and spread us out a little. Defensively we were spectacular. At the half we talked about going out and playing a second half. We haven't done that a couple of times this year. "I was happy to see we finally beat somebody on the boards. "I still think he's (Rex Walters) one of the best players in the nation, and I don't care if he ever makes another shot." NC State coach Les Robinson - "This was a good game for us. We will play 16 more games just like this with the same kind of caliber of talent. But they're not all going to be No. 2 teams. But we'll play a couple first of top-20 teams. But this game certainly got us prepared for what's ahead. "They (KU) certainly deserve to be number two. They play great basketball, and they have great depth. Our performance was good. It was good enough to cut them to 10 to 12. Under the conditions we were under I felt very good about tonight's game." NC State player Lakista McCuller - "The Kansas fans are great basketball fans. They are just like the fans at Duke and North Carolina in the ACC. "You've got to compliment Kansas on such great team defense. They are very active and put pressure on the ball. It was hard to get into our offense."
