airport novel picked
I picked up a Grisham novel in an airport over the weekend.
last looked practiced time
He practiced there some last year, and he looked fine. Only time will tell.
fall full head
That is just not acceptable. Clearly, there are a lot of things missing. Ultimately, those things fall on me. I'm the head coach, and I take full responsibility.
deal season
That's a big deal to us. This season has been disconcerting, very much so.

As a coach, that 3-to-6 in the gym every day is what you live for,

best-place gym
The gym is the best place you'll ever be.

Not to take away from what DePaul did, I think they actually took away our energy. I think that our inability to stop them defensively took away from our energy and our ability to score offensively.
played
For about 30 minutes, we played as well as we can play.
again both challenge forest great hope last lost memorable poised remains season strong wake
Last season was great for Wake Forest and memorable for the ACC. Both Wake Forest and the ACC lost significant contributors, but, as always, the ACC remains strong and we hope that Wake Forest once again is poised to challenge for an ACC championship.
