Florida State head coach Leonard Hamilton
Opening Statement...
"Wake Forest was extremely well prepared. They kept us out of sorts by changing defenses from their matchup to their man defense. We didn't get a lot of moment and got off to a slow start because we couldn't find a rhythm. We got tremendous production from our bench in the first half. We didn't solve their defense in the second half, but we didn't have as many turnovers. I think we only had two turnovers in the second half, and we were able to get some stops which helped us get some easy baskets. I feel like our guys played with more confidence for the rest of the game. This game was a big win for us because winning 13 games was important to our team and our program."
On if it was hard to motivate the team (Florida State) with their tournament seed already locked in...
"I don't think that we weren't motivated and focused. Wake Forest did a very good job defensively of taking away things that we wanted to do. We had trouble figuring out their defensive schemes."
Wake Forest head coach Danny Manning
Opening Statement...
"I thought our guys came out and competed at a high-level today, but obviously not enough to win the ballgame. We put ourselves in a very good situation for the first 30 minutes of the ballgame by playing with the lead. In the second half, we got some stops, but I think they got some offensive rebounds to give their team some life. That stretch put us in a tough spot for the rest of the game."
On shooting struggles in the game...
"We just didn't make shots. We had opportunities to make shots, but we couldn't convert. We only had eight turnovers for the game, which is pretty good considering Florida State's defensive pressure. We probably missed anywhere from seven to ten shots from close range, so that didn't help the cause."
