Pugh has been among the team's most active supporters from the sideline, so much so that ESPN briefly focused on that topic during the broadcast. After the game, Pugh showed no bitterness about having to wait so long to get on the court. Any time I get in the game, I want to play hard and hopefully continue to get better. This is just the first step. I always say luck is not some thing that just happens.
Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
I've been preparing for my opportunity. When I got out there I was ready to go. Pugh's entry into the game ended the rumor that he might redshirt. He vehemently denied the rumor that he had considered transferring. I don't know who started that rumor.
