Player Postgame Quotes
Syracuse vs. North Carolina State
Syracuse, NY-Carrier Dome
December 8, 2001
Syracuse senior guard DeShaun Williams
On the game:
“In the beginning we came out very impatient. We beat ourselves tonight.”
Syracuse sophomore forward Jeremy McNeil
On N.C. State’s performance:
“I guess we underestimated them (N.C. State). If we played them again, that wouldn’t happen.”
On his performance:
“I go out there to play. I am going to go out and play hard every time.”
Syracuse senior forward Preston Shumpert
On SU’s first loss of the season:
“I think we were rushing shots. We weren’t taking our time on offense and we weren’t executing.”
“We were in a hurry all game and didn’t slow down. When we did play together, we got back into the game.”
What SU can take away from this game:
“We’ll take this loss and learn from it.”
“We need to execute and do the things that we do. When we go against the grain, what we’ve been taught, that’s what hurts us.”
