WATCH: Defense Remains A Focal Point For Omer Yurtseven

NC State center Omer Yurtseven met with the media after the Wolfpack's 109-66 exhibition win over Mars Hill.

"It wasn't definitely a challenging opponent so we couldn't see the whol team's potential, but I would say it was a good win. Any win is a good win."

"Last year I missed nine games and this year I have those extra nine games to get myself ready. At the same time we practice twice a day... it's going to come definitely. It will take probably one or two games."

"It's definitely more up-and-down and more high tempo than last year. It helps because you get more shots, more opportunities so it's a good thing."

"Rebounding, defense and lateral quickness... if I get those and being more consistent, I should be fine."

"This summer I was 242 when I got here in August... in two or three months I've put on 11 pounds. I'm 253 now."

"The amount of running we do, it's not easy."
