Everything Chris Mack said after Louisville’s win over NC State

(Opening Statement)

Well, thrilling first game here in the ACC. I think we took NC State’s best punch there in the first 12 minutes of the second half. We talked over and over in the locker room about sustaining that effort on the defensive end. But our inability to take care of the ball in the first six, seven minutes, and combine that with their downhill approach, really hurt us. It allowed them to get back in the game and ultimately take the lead. But I thought our fortitude, our toughness level rose during that time.
