And that should begin in practice. If you practice well, you will play well. That is something I have always put a lot of stock in. If you look back, over the past 30 days, you will find that we have been playing much better basketball, but we are not there yet. As a coach, once you feel that your team has arrived, you will find yourself racking up losses.
Coaches say it all the time, but there is so much truth to taking it one day at a time.
In our case, it is one practice at a time. I remind our young men, every day, that we are only as good as our last possession. So far, January has been a very good month for us. We had just one setback, against Connecticut. I would like to close by recognizing a man who gave so much to the game of college basketball.
