“We didn't capitalize on the opportunities we could have to win a game like that, so getting back on track going into conference play with momentum and confidence.”

“I’ve learned a lot from my older brother, Patrick Rooks. He was a shooting guard at Clemson and he was a shooter. He always taught me a shooter’s mentality... shoot one and miss it, the next one is going to fall.”

“I’m a pass catcher. I look forward to getting back to doing what I do... making some plays for the team. I feel like I let the team down, but I’m human and I’ll take it off film.”

“It’s the next opponent. We’re worried about us.  We know the type of football we play, and only we can beat ourselves.”

“I don’t even think about... I’m already over it. I’m looking to move on from it, take it off film, and be that guy the team can count on in crunch time.”

“Just making our layups, pitch and catch... we had a lot of opportunities that we could have capitalized on, and we look to do that going forward.”

“Coach Joker is the same guy everyday. He’s going to be vocal, he’ll let you know what he wants.”
