QUOTABLE

"I thought we played well in spurts tonight. NC State's speed and size put us on our heels a little at the beginning of the game. Once we settled down, I thought we did some good things we can build on moving forward. We must improve our execution on the offensive end and must build our intensity on the defensive end." ~ Radford head coach, Mike McGuire
