I beleive things were going real well until they had a week off for exams, followed by a game and a week off for Christmas. They're young and that's a problem. He's had some of the same problems tha Doherty experienced but he's better equipped to handle them.
I think the first 8 are as talented as anyone in the country but they lack depth, especially a backup big body in the middle. Injuries haven't helped either. Jawad Williams has suffered a concussion, a broken noise and a cut to the head that required 8 stitches, in three SEPARATE issues since Christmas. Sean May has had trouble with ankle injuries and David Noel missed the first 8 or so game with a bad thumb.
They need to learn how to win in the clutch. I hope they did that yesterday. They lost to Wake in 3 OT, at Kentucky at a miracle 3, and at Maryland in the last mintue. Of course, the MD loss is simply ACC basketball. Playing on the road in the ACC can get you an L on any given night.
We aren't gonna win it all this year but I think we'll be alright. We're back.
