We’ve got to figure out how to clean up our mess . Our mess is our mess . I wish I could look at you guys and say these teams are beating us. I think some of them are playing well . I just think some of it has do with what we’re not doing or have to go do better ‘‘ We’ve got great kids . Do I have leaders in the locker room ? Yes, but I need more . I need Ben Middlebrooks to be a lead I need Michael (O’Connell) to step up. It’s hard for the new guys because they don’t know what to say because they haven’t had enough success in an NC State basketball jersey to be able to say something but the guys who have been here they know what it’s like . They know what ACC basketball is about . They know the ups and downs that you can have in a season . They know the prize at the end if you play well. I need them to share that and get us where we need to be.
