FROM HEAD COACH OLE KEUSGEN
“Going into the game we knew it was a local rivalry which is never easy. In the third and fourth quarter huddle we just said who wants it more and we found a way. It wasn’t our best game today but we did find a way to flip a switch and execute a little better. I think that made the difference. We obviously had more possession and more control but we didn’t finish as cleanly as we would like to. Going into ACC play we need to make sure our basics are perfect.”
