NC State's Torin Dorn and Lavar Batts Jr. met with the media after the Wolfpack's 68-51 loss at Virginia.

Redshirt Junior Wing Torin Dorn
“We just hadn't played against a style like that. They slow the game down and really help a lot off your drives, so we had to get used to playing a lot in that style.”

“We didn't shoot well in the first half. You have to win all types of games... when it's 30-20 or 50-40.”

“I don't think we regressed.  We have to keep moving the ball, but they play great defense.  Hats off to them for their defensive effort.”

“It was nice to have [Markell Johnson]  back. His energy and intensity is always great.”

“We have to attack the basket aggressively.”

“Every game is a battle. We have to clean up some of the things we messed up today.  If we keep on moving the ball and play with intensity we'll be fine.”

Freshman Point Guard Lavar Batts Jr.
“It's something we have to get used to. We haven't played a team like that.”

“Whatever defenses are thrown at us, we just have to win.”

“They were playing together as a team.”

“We were getting shots that we wanted, we just have to convert on our shots.”

“It would have been a different game, but stuff happens. We have to keep working.”

“It's great to have Markell back.  Markell is a good player and a key to this team with the way he hustles... it was good having him back.”

“He was energetic.”

“We do have the confidence.”

“I feel like we shared the ball well.”

“I feel with us three being on the court together there should be a lot of chaos on the ball, deflections... we're going to speed the game up.”
