PREGAME: Abu, Freeman Talk Georgia Tech, Senior Night

NC State seniors Abdul-Malik Abu and Lennard Freeman met with the media to discuss Thursday night's game against Georgia Tech.

Senior Forward Abdul-Malik Abu

"Having a successful season like this, as a team it's everything you can hope for. I just want to take it all in stride."

"I've been real grateful just thinking about all the memories and good times I've had out here."

"It's bigger than anything individual. We have a chance to go far, make a run, and make some history. We want to take it as far as we can."

"I want to show them the heart of the Pack, our tradition, and how we do things."

"The sky is the limit."

"We still feel like we have something to prove... we just want to keep improving day by day."

"We want to prove we're a good team and a force to be reckoned with."

"I remember my first time coming out here, my first visit. I remember every detail from the first time I was here."

"To go out there, have fun, and play with your heart. Everything will take over from there."

"I feel like we can go even further as long as we stick together and do things we are able to do."

Senior Forward Lennard Freeman

"That's why I said I'm not going to do two Senior Nights... save the Senior Night to give me a better time for next year."

"Just the way coach Keatts was telling us how we'd play... I looked at our personnel and thought we had what it takes to play how he wants to play."

"I feel like I can go through a lot of things. I've played for different coaches."

"Last year and this year I've been in Omer's corner. Last year when he wasn't playing as well he'd ask me what he could do. It was the same thing this year and I said just be ready, you're a beast,  you're a dog."

"Just send me out with some wins and I'll be cool."

"Malik is a character.  It was great knowing him these four years. I love Malik. That's going to be my brother for life."

"I like him as a basketball player than as a musician."

"You get to the tournament it will be the greatest time of your life. If you win one game it feels like you won a Super Bowl. If you win two games you feel like you won two Super Bowls."

"You'll never want to leave the tournament again once you get there."

"We're still working hard everyday, after games and before games."
