the passion and fire needed to achieve success. We just have to be willing to listen, then act.
This was one of those times.

I watched the game against Wake, and in the 1st half I was very disappointed with the way our Tigers were playing. Someone that has never watched them play could tell that they were lazy, sluggish, and no one had their mind into the game. It really was like the team felt that they didn't have to play to beat Wake, and they were waiting for Wake to lay down and give them the game. We have seen that same attitude in some of our losses this season. The careless turn overs was killing me and the team. I look at my wife and told her that I struggle everyday to do what I need to do to get through my days. And here I'm watching my team with 28, 19, and 20 year old young men that are "playing" like they are my age. With a loss to Wake facing them down at the half, when they came back out on the floor, it was amazing at how much their attitude had changed from the 1st half to the second. Those guys came back out swinging, they shocked the Wake team and everybody in the arena an the ones watching on TV, it was one of the better halves of basketball I've seen them play all season. They were lighting quick with crisp passing hitting baskets, and stopped making mindless costly mistakes. Personally, I was really happy with the fire they played with in the second half. Hopefully they really learned how easy the game is when they play hard together with their mind in the game the whole game. Go Tigerssss, beat VT!!!

Individually play at a high level. Overall, we have little room for error. Our only margin comes from playing great defense which takes great effort.
