Posted Jan 11, 2008

N.C. State forward Brandon Costner said the Wolfpack's strategy for Saturday will be pretty simple against top-ranked North Carolina. Run like heck back, Costner said. Against Carolina, transition defense can't just be some pregame talking point or a sometime thing. It must be a constant and conscious effort from the opening jump ball to the final buzzer, either run back on defense or risk being run out of the gym. (Raleigh News & Observer)
