Video: NC State Media Availability

NC State Pack Hoops just posted interviews by Mark Gottfried and Cat Barber. Coach Gottfried talked about how his team is growing up and said that Abu is starting to play with more confidence. He also spoke about how NC State has to take the good things from the Pitt game and carry that over to play against a talented Duke team on Saturday. One thing Coach talked about when asked about Duke, was their quickness which makes it hard to keep them out of the paint. He was quick to note that his team can be hard to guard as well.

Cat Barber was also asked some questions about the Pitt game and how he felt the win was big for him and his teammates. Another question was posed about Abu and his resurgence, Cat responded, “He is not settling for jump shots, he is big and strong so he is attacking.”

Check out both video’s below to see what Gottfried and Barber had to say.
