Rick Barnes, far more honest than the average coach, tried to turn Wofford into a preliminary challenge.

“We know that we have a very tough first-round opponent.”

He said Coach Dwight Perry has done a great job with his team (the Terriers are finished at 19-16). 19-16. Better get better by Saturday....

It seemed to me that Opkara was focused on dunking every shot he took, no dribbling, no layups, no tip ins. If it was not my imagination, that's a huge improvement for the team.

Milicic needs to get his head in the game, seems mistake prone the past few games with dumb fouls and turnovers. Need some offense and rebounding from him to really have a chance.

He’s gonna have to play extremely well on defense. Unfortunately, UCLA is west coast FL, the way their roster and schemes are set up. Bad matchup down low. We win if shoot the 3’s lights out and get on FT line

It's too late in the season to send a message, but would love to see him come off the bench and let Cade start.
