I hope this was a sign of us growing up. We definitely needed this victory.

We're still in a growing up stage. Last year we relied on a lot of freshmen and sophomores and we lost a lot of close games. One reason the sophomores from last year who are now juniors are playing better is because they're more experienced. A.J. (Johnson) and Al Thornton are giving us good leadership, and we're getting leadership from our three seniors. Todd Galloway has been in the program for four years, so has Andrew Wilson. We have some guys who are maturing a little bit and it's taking some pressure off of our new players.

To go on the road in the ACC and come away with the victory, you have to have a lot of people play very well. I thought our players played with a tremendous amount of focus and aggressiveness.

Even when things were tough growing up, it's what really kept us together.

Asset allocation is not that different from what mom told us growing up: don't put all your eggs in one basket.

It's awesome. My parents have sacrificed so much for me. Growing up, they've basically been driving us back and forth to different sporting events. I feel like they didn't have a life, because it was all about us.
