Why on earth would you expect the Landmark Center on Six Forks Road in Raleigh to have the same standards, preparation against terrorist attack, as the John Hancock Center would have? ... It has got to be a balance of cost against risk.

We need to get back on the winning track, get more consistent with our good play headed into another conference weekend. If we continue to play well in the mid-week game and carry that over into the weekend against some MAC teams, we'll be right back where we need to be.

What, running and gunning for seven games? It doesn't matter at this point. We played San Antonio well this year. We played well against Phoenix. We don't care who we play at this point.

Right now, we need all the wins we can get. If we can keep getting them against (the Clippers), it's going to help us out in the division as well. It's a wide-open year. Whoever gets through these early-season struggles is going to have a push.
