N&O: Markell Johnson and Sam Hunt talk Syracuse win (BULLETED)

News & Observer wrote a good positive NC State article that focused on their growth and ceiling after a big win. It also had some good, embeddable video interviews we wanted to share. Read the full article here or watch their videos below.

Markell Johnson

• (On final 3-pointer) Came off the screen, he went under, felt confident and just knocked it down.
• Bit win. Had the same record as Syracuse so it’s a huge win.
• Keatts said to move the ball. When we hit the middle, scatter. We just moved and that was it.
• We were poised in the huddle with .a minute left. Coach Keatts said we were going to win the game.
• Felt very confident. Knew they were going to go under screens and on that last shot, just pulled up.

• Big win. Had lost 2 and needed to get well. Needed this win to get going.
• Practiced shots from those spots in practice and teammates were just able to find me.
• Defense was key. It wasn’t the offense. Got stops when needed and rebounded. Luckily made some shots.
• Shot felt good, but can’t take credit. Teammates found me.
