- It was an amazing effort by a beleaguered team and everyone should be proud of them.
- Joe Girard’s break-out performance could be the beginning of a big finish to his freshman season. Same thing for Quincy Guerrier. The concept of blood doping is to take blood out of an athlete a couple weeks before an event, having his body replace the blood and then injecting it back into him so he has extra energy from the extra red corpuscles. When Elijah comes back, we may be stronger than ever.
- Quincy managed to play 37 minutes with 1 foul. He did it because of his aggressiveness and because he’s starting to figure out this game. That’s how you avoid fouls. And he was rewarded with a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds. He helped lead us to a 37-32 advantage on the boards after we’d had a 34-44 deficit vs. Wake Forest.
- This is quite a recruiting class. Freshmen scored 49 of our 74 points. 10 more came from a sophomore. And more talent is on the way. Whatever happens this year, we seem ready to emerge from what I dubbed “the cornfield of bubble teams”. Just not this year.
_ it was interesting to watch Hughes on the bench. He was constantly not just rooting for his teammates but seemed to be instructing them as if he were an assistant coach, which suggests that he's a 'coach on the court' type of player when he's in there.
- We have two excellent chances to make up for what happened tonight in the next two games.
- It looks bad now but the dream of making the Big Dance doesn’t end until we see what happens in the ACC tournament. That’s when the music stops and we are due for a run there.
14-10 (7-6) with 7+ to be done
LET’S GO ORANGE!
