Wake Forest Head Coach Jeff Bzdelik

On how impressive a road win is for this team after last season...
"Well, last year we had the youngest team in the country, and no team played more freshmen more minutes than we did. It's just another step in the right direction. We were really still a very young team. We have three freshmen and three sophomores out of the eight scholarship players available to us. I'm really happy for our players; it was a tough, gritty performance against a team that's extremely well-coached and plays very well in this building."

On if Carson Desrosiers had a breakout performance...
"Yes, it is. Carson is a young man that--it's interesting. It's tough to be a freshman, especially at a school like Wake Forest where there's demands on you academically. Last year, he had to play a lot of minutes out of necessity. It's tough, but it's a credit to him. It's perseverance, his willingness to continue to battle. He's still only a sophomore in his seventh game. He's very talented. I certainly believe in him and he just needs to understand that's he's very, very talented and smart. He needs to believe in himself. Hopefully this is a huge step toward that."

On if the last play was designed...
"Yes. We knew that (Nebraska center Jorge Brian) Diaz has trouble with high ball screens in terms of his ability to move his feet and C.J. (Harris) just blew right by him, and we opened up the court. That's what we were hoping for. If he was to sag in there, we were going to throw it back to Carson and go from there."
