Limiting turnovers. I feel like everybody was so excited. Once the first game comes, we’re going to have to limit our turnovers.

We have a lot of shooters. I wanted them to play man, but we knew they were going to play zone.

Just playing hard and having fun. Those were the two keys Coach Keatts wanted us to focus on.

On NC State’s defense...
We went hard in shootaround today, and that started the energy.

I was just out there having fun. I haven’t played in front of a crowd since I was at Nebraska.
