BILL SELF ON FACING WISCONSIN ON THANKSGIVING:
"Wisconsin, we haven't played Gregg Gard or Wisconsin since I've been here," said Self. "You know, I used to play them all the time at Illinois. Even though they don't play the exact same way, it's still a different type of style. Today', N.C. State's five men don't shoot the ball and you play Wisconsin, and they shoot the ball."
