Winter break is always a great time for the team to recharge and prepare for the rigorous ACC schedule that gets rolling in January. Our players were able to spend some quality time at home after our Xavier game before returning the day after Christmas. Now, with the team back and the campus still quiet, our players have time to really get after it in practice and in the weight room, while spending more time together off the court hanging out as well.
With ACC play kicking off in a week, I asked Jon Scheyer what he thinks the team has done well so far and what we are working on to prepare for the toughest part of the season. Jon responded, “Outside of one game, I think this team has been really hungry and fearless. Our defense has been great. Those three qualities can take us a long way. I think our offense has hurt our defense a little bit. Going forward we need to get good shots and not turn the ball over. If we do that, we will be hard to beat.”
