The goal is to win every game; I understand that. But, the big picture goal is to win your last six games, cut down nets, and cry your way through "One Shining Moment". So get healthy, Ty Lawson. Remember that the ball can actually go IN the basket, Danny Green. And Roy, learning to make that "T" sign with two hands would indeed be nice (for a demonstration, please see Webber, Chris, circa 1993). Win your last six, and you get this:
After two hard-fought, emotional games in this tournament, a third matchup with Duke or forty minutes against a fired-up Maryland team could potentially do more harm than good. Remember, these guys, save the freshmen, have all won the ACC Tournament before (most of them twice). Winning it sure is fun, but getting out of the ACC Cocktail Party with your health and a high seed are more important THIS YEAR. For the record, I advocate playing hard in every game and trying to win this historic event with everything you've got. But, for THIS TEAM, a National Title is the ultimate goal. They've gone to Atlanta, played two gritty games, and hopefully learned what needs to be worked on this week.
We'll analyze this team more in-depth this week. For now, I've got to complete my bracket prognostication and type it out on this blog. I leave you with a quote that sent me into three minutes of giggles and singing. Courtesy of Tim Brant, who announced today's game for Raycom with Mike Gminski: "There's a lot of bumpin' and grindin' going on (in the lane) down there".
You dang right, Tim Brant: there ain't nothin' wrong with a little bump and grind.
