Wake Forest Head Coach Skip Prosser
On the game:
.I.m really proud of our guys. We battled a lot of adversity a lot of it was our own doing. We beat a NCAA tournament team. They gave a great effort. I.d really like to single out our three seniors. We challenged them at halftime and they stepped up and played exceedingly well in the second half. I.d also like to salute the crowd. They wouldn.t let us die. We got down by 11 in the second half and the crowd was terrific. They are a big part of us having a 16-0 record at Joel Coliseum this season..
On high scoring games versus Georgia Tech:
.You.re talking about some pretty skilled offensive players. I don.t think we ever found a way to keep them in front of us. Schenscher had a great game for them. It.s hard to guard a team that has so many options. Other teams seem to guard them better. They see us and they shoot the ball well. We shoot the ball well. We feel very fortunate to get out of here with a win..
On three turnovers in the second half:
.We feel strongly that we.re a hard team to stop. SOmetimes we have a proclivity to stop ourselves. When we don.t stop ourselves we shoot the ball well, kids execute pretty well, all three guards can get us into things..
Georgia Tech Head Coach Paul Hewitt
On the game:
"Our guys played a very good basketball game tonight. We played against a very good team, they had 20 assists and seven turnovers and shot the ball well for the most part..
On high scoring games with Wake Forest:
.I think you have two very talented teams out there led by two very good point guards. When you have two very good point guards like that you are going to have chance to score points..
On Vytas Danelius:
.He made some big shots at opportune times..
Wake Forest Players
Vytas Danelius
On the game:
"We didn.t want to leave this place with a loss. I kept thinking we would make a run. I knew we.d be back in it. The win feels great. I want to thank all the guys on the team. Without them I wouldn.t have had the game I had. Tonight was the night. It felt really special..
Jamaal Levy
On the Difference Between the Two Halves:
"I think the way we played defensively was the difference. They really made us pay in the first half with the shots they were taking. It seemed like they weren.t missing. In the second half we came out with more emotion and started to make them pay with our shots instead."
On Playing in his Last Game:
.Tonight was very special. One of my goals this season was to go undefeated at home. I.m really going to miss this place. This school is great. Right now I.m just shocked that this was my last game here and I.m just glad we won..
