    Whoever is admitted or sought for, in company, upon any other account than that of his merit and manners, is never respected there, but only made use of. We will have such-a-one, for he sings prettily; we will invite such-a-one to a ball, for he dances well; we will have such-a-one at supper, for he is always joking and laughing; we will ask another because he plays deep at all games, or because he can drink a great deal. These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard. Whoever is had (as it is called) in company for the sake of any one thing singly, is singly that thing, and will never be considered in any other light; consequently never respected, let his merits be what they will.

They're very athletic and they run the floor. They have tough-minded guys and they never give up. Even when you have a lead, they always find a way to come back. It's an ACC game and it's going to be a close game I'm sure. We're just going to have to be consistent throughout the game; we can't have long periods where we don't score.
