I think this will be one of the best tournaments that we've seen in the ACC.

It is interesting having two weeks off in one month, especially a month where we've had very few home games. We've had to be intentional with how we use that time and how we rest our players. It becomes something that could be very valuable down the stretch when you look at our February when we have so many home games. Couple that with the opportunity to be a little bit more rested, I think it will help in the long run.

Our team played really well at Miami. I keep talking about how much better we're getting and I think a lot of that is just developing confidence and the consistency we have on the defensive end of the floor. We're beginning now to not only defend like we can, but also rebound the basketball extremely well and because of those two things, we're coming up with some easy transition buckets on the other end.

Our ball pressure was very good, and it made it hard for her teammates to find her.

It feels good to be at home because it's so rare.

I think our rebounding effort against Clemson is going to help us. This is what we're going to have to put together up there. We don't have anything to lose. If we can play with that sustained level throughout the game, it's a 2:00 in the afternoon game and we'll have a bunch of energy. It will be fun to go up there and take our best shot at them.

The altitude is going to be a factor in the sense that physiologically it will affect but it's going to affect all of the teams. The way you handle that is what's important. We're going to go out and we're going to play hard. We're going to do what we can to prepare for the altitude but then we're going to go out and play the ball game and not even think about it.

Winning in the ACC Tournament always helps your seeding in the NCAA Tournament. Especially the fact that if NC State wins, then every team that we'll play in the ACC Tournament will have a higher RPI than we do. That can only help us in our cause for the NCAA Tournament.
