Great all around game today including another solid effort from most all of our other top 8 but I really need to point out and give kudos to both Withers and Washington.
Withers continues to work hard and it seems the game has slowed down for him, he doesn’t panic, and he is totally aligned with what Hubs and this team does and doesn’t need him to do. Where he should and shouldn’t try to score. And is adding a lot on defense and rebounding.
And Washington just seems to have made a big leap in last few weeks on having faster feet and knowing where to be on defense. And along with a continued sweet 8-15 ft jumper, seems to be a lot stronger and more aggressive in finishing at the rim thru contact and outfighting guys for 50-50 rebounds.
I love what both these guys are giving off the bench. Along with Trimble of course who could start and we’d be fine. The guards in front of him are just that good which is a great situation.
We are so far from Iron 5 last couple years where UNC had almost no margin for error, foul trouble, injuries etc.
