NC State vs. Maryland Post-Game Quotes

Maryland Head Coach Chris Weller

(On the team's performance with all the festivities surrounding the game)
"The whole evening was nice and I wish we could have won the game. The (performance in the) game was an indication of how badly we wanted to win the game and I thought the team was very tight."

(On the shooting performance and how it played into the whole night)
"We didn't shoot the ball anywhere close to what we can and that was the difference in the game. That was the only down side on the entire evening. I thought it was wonderful to see so many alumni back."

(On Cole Field House)
"I think this is one of the very special places to play and I think in the 50's they were way ahead of their time. That is why still to this day, almost 50 years later, considered one of the best gyms in the country."

NC State Head Coach Kay Yow

(On the team's rebounding tonight)
"I thought it was a great team effort tonight, particularly on the boards. Everybody was really good on the boards and got good rebounds."

(On her team's defensive performance)
"Our defense was really solid tonight, in both man and zone. We did a really good job mixing our defenses up and playing well."

(On playing in the last women's basketball game in Cole Field House)
"It was a personnel privilege and honor for me to play in the last game here at Cole Field House. This place has a lot of special memories for me. To be the opponent for the last game with all the tremendous games that Maryland and NC State have had over the years is a great honor for me."
