Recap| Box Score

NC State Head Coach Kay Yow

Opening Statement:


"Maryland played a great game. Maryland played like a team on a mission. They had something to prove that they wanted to accomplish.... They're still looking for that assurance for making the NCAA tournament, and they played like a team on a mission.
"They out-played us in every aspect of this game. (Maryland head coach) Chris Weller had them really prepared for this game."

On March? Strickland and Deedee Warley:
"I think their two key players, Strickland and Warley, carried the team today like you expect your two best players to play."

"I think the turnovers and free throws were the difference.... They were really a team focused with a purpose."

Maryland Head Coach Chris Weller

Opening Statement:
"I knew we had to win two of our last three- so we had to win the toughest. We played with a lot of energy today and we had to."

On an NCAA tournament future for the Terps:
"We know we're real close to getting to NCAAs... you never know what's going to happen and you don't want to let the opportunity go, so we're going after it.
"I think we're definitely a strong consideration, but it may be up to how it plays out in the (ACC) tournament."

On the strength of the ACC:
"I have to admit, I have never seen the league go this deep. Hopefully, we'll send at least six teams (to NCAAs)."
