All right, this time we welcome NC State to the stage. Joining me, head coach Will Wade and guards Quadir Copeland had 16 points, 8 rebounds tonight. And Darrion Williams is on the end with 21 points. Coach, before we open the floor for questions for our student athletes, just a statement on this evening's game.

Will Wade: Yeah, I mean, disappointing end to a pretty disappointing season for us, the way I look at it. We haven't been very good in close games. We hadn't earned the right to win close games. And our season ended very similarly to the reason we're sitting in Dayton. And so, you are who you are in pressure moments. And we tried to mask some stuff, and we couldn't do it. And so that's why we're here, and that's why we're heading home.

Quadir, you've been a facilitator all year. But tonight, facilitating the three point just wasn't happening. What was Texas doing to limit that?

COPELAND: They were actually just putting me in positions to get to the rim and things like that. I felt like I didn't finish opportunities that I had. I had easy opportunities that was given. They took my shooters away and forced me to get downhill. And I did that, just didn't finish the job. So, but hats off to them. They work just how we work. So I ain't got nothing crazy to say.
