All everyone is talking about is the scandal and I've used that to the guys as far as people disrespecting us as a team. We didn't have anything to do with the scandal, don't know anything about it. This is our season...They talk about that and maybe show one or two highlights. No disrespect to everything that's going on, because obviously it's serious, but this is our season."

Scoop has a future in politics.

I really mean that. He has had a knack for saying just the right things all season long so far. Plus he loves the camera and it loves him back.

Scoop knows to treat this like a chip on his shoulder.

Good for Scoop.

I love Scoop's focus

He knows what really matters, and I like the fact that he’s been able to separate himself from the circus. The same with the rest of the team, but Scoop is the clear leader and this comes from him. The Orange have to be ready for a tough road game at N.C. State. They have to take their time and not just settle for a fadeaway three pointer. Feed Fab and get Leslie in foul trouble. Kris Jo and C.J. need to drive and pull up, and be aggressive when they get a chance to get to the rim. They have to get in Wood’s grill and not let him shoot. Dion just needs to keep on keeping on. The guy has been a beast so far this year. No stupid turnovers and no alley oops unless it’s wide open. They need to stay fundamentally sound and they will be fine. They owe Gottfried from the 2004 Sweet Sixteen.
