Good question. I think everybody in the league is wondering about that right now. Those three guards have been outstanding for three years. |
He had a great look. We actually had a better shot than they did. |
He just needs to be confident that if he gets hit on either one of those injuries that it's not the end of the world. If he's able to go hard and sharp (in Friday's practice) hopefully he'll be back to the Vernon of old. We need that. |
He makes the first free throw, he misses the second, they get the rebound, kick it back out, hit the 3-pointer and you lose. |
He understands the offense better now. He's trusting his knowledge and talent instead of trying to force it. |
He was very realistic with me, clear about what's going on, and he certainly educated us on what we'd be facing. He clearly understood how tough it was. |
He's had one of the best college careers in college basketball history. You're talking about the ACC, a premier league in the country. He's breaking scoring records, the all-time leading scoring record. The teams he's played on have won. Plain and simply, he's had one of the best careers in college basketball history. |
He's made a commitment, no question about it. He worked on a number of things and came back a different player. |
I do feel we're better prepared, because I think we're playing better. We're a better basketball team now, and as a result I feel a little more confident going against Miami. |
I don't know if it sparked them, but I said a LOT of different things to them. |
I don't like it (not fouling) because it hasn't worked, but you saw we had trouble rebounding on free throws. That really cost us in this game. |
I don't think about the 'what-ifs' because it's too painful. If it seeps in, I try to push it out of my mind quickly. I choose to look forward. |
I don't think we played our best basketball. But I thought we played well in stretches, and that allows us to advance. |
I don't think we want to erase it. It definitely says to our team that we have a real challenge ahead of us. We want to use it for scouting purposes. We don't want to erase any part of the season. |
I feel good about the way we played against Georgia Tech. We were really ready to play and acted live-bodied. Georgia Tech threw some things at us and made some runs and our guys stayed the course and never got frustrated. |
