Maryland Head Coach Gary Williams:

"NC State did a great job early. You have to give them credit for the way they prepared for this game. You also have to give our players credit for the way they hung in there,"

"Lonny Baxter - I can't say enough. I wasn't the only one there who saw what he did. He was the heart."

"I always feel that there's a game during the year that gets you over that invisible barrier - confidence or whatever. But you have to look at our next game, and be able to put this aside."

"I like our team this year. I always coach for the present, not the future. I really believe that. I have great players here and now, so it's fun coaching these guys."

NC State Head Coach Herb Sendek:

"Lonny Baxter was sensational. Obviously we didn't have a good answer for him. He had a spectacular performance. The pressure must have gotten to us a great deal. We had 15 second-half turnovers. In the last three minutes, we couldn't stop them. We turned the ball over and we got a technical foul."
