NC State guard Terquavion Smith met with the media to discuss tonight's matchup against Duke.

NOTE: Click above to watch the interview with Smith and below is a collection of quotes.


“I feel like they have similar pieces on this year’s team.”

“I think they’ll have the same adjustments towards me. I feel like it will be a good game for me.”

“As far as their guards, it will be a good backcourt on both sides. I’m going to go at them... I’m going to go hard all game.”

“Play hard, leave it all on the court. We need as many Quad 1 wins we can get. These are the ones we need.”

“This was the only North Carolina school I talked to... it’s just another night.”

“It’s a big win.  We have this trip coming up, the next three games are tough for us. We have to take them one game at a time and play hard.”

“In that loss we learned that we can compete with anybody.  It’s more about just getting defensive stops.”

“Getting stops because we can score with anybody.”

“I’d say with speed. Put their bigs into ball screens and get them in foul trouble. That’s one thing we can try to do.”

“I feel like we have to be more consistent and get stops.  Stops is what wins you games, so if you can stop your opponent from scoring it will be tough for them.”

“Some nights I’m not shooting well, some nights I am.  I can’t let me not shooting well impact me on defense or my body language.”

“It’s my first time playing them here so I want to see what that looks like, what that feels like.”
