All I expect is another battle. We can play with anybody when we value our possessions by protecting the ball and working for and taking the best shots instead of settling for quick/forced shots, compete on the glass, and play defense. We need to play better and smarter than we did on Saturday if we want to beat GT or any other ACC opponent, and particularly we need to stop digging a hole for ourselves with poor play at the beginning of games. The NC State loss was more a matter of how poorly we played for 40 minutes and State being good enough taking advantage of it for 40 minutes.

Buzz is a good coach and as we've witnessed he has enough good players to win these games when his team is playing well. Some teams are so loaded in this league that he needs the other team to be having an off night at the same time. He knows his team doesn't have a lot of margin for error, and we've seen him string together runs. So I have confidence that Buzz will figure out how to get his team to play better and smarter for longer.
