NC State guard DJ Horne speaks to the media after dropping 26 points against Georgia Tech on Saturday.
DJ take us through that second half run that you all went on, especially you. I think you had nine points in the first three minutes or so in that second half. Oh, yeah, man, I said it last time, I'll say it again, man. You know, when, when you see the ball start going through the net for some of your teammates, they don't even have to be yourself, man. It just, it kind of opens it up, man and it kinda gets uh contagious and I felt like that happened again tonight. Uh Once we kind of start hitting a couple, I felt like it just, you know, carried over for the whole team in the first half. I mean, how Frustra was that in the first half? Yeah, I know now that I do think back, I know we went on like a little low. We didn't score the ball and they started chipping back into the game. So those moments are what we're trying to still figure out how to cut out because we know that we can't have those against like really good teams. So, uh you know, it is definitely frustrating. You still find a way to win, I guess with defense, is that what it is? Yes. Uh, our identity has always been defense. So, uh, we are always gonna rely on that even when our shots are not falling. And luckily we had enough stops tonight to be able to, you know, come up with the win. He scored like five points now. But man, it didn't seem like he was big man. Oh, yeah, he's big, man. You know, Mike does so many things that might not, you know, come up on the stat sheet but it definitely, you know, pays apart and us getting wins and you know, that's why he's on the court a lot and uh we definitely need him. So, you know, that's my point guard a stretch for you guys. Uh It's very important, man, you know, in the AC C definitely wanna protect home, you know. Uh So I think we may drop too so far. So right now our mindset is that we can't lose anymore, especially at home a couple of days ago, the sky was falling and you guys lost three straight and you guys were no good. I mean, now you're back back on track. Oh yeah, we uh we knew that we were gonna face some adversity. Um I feel like every team goes through some type of adversity throughout the year. So, uh I'm glad that it happened early on and that we can still, you know, still say we're in the race for, you know, making it into March postseason play. Um, but, you know, it's good to learn those early than, you know, get into March and then, you know, we may have that adversity then. So.
