Coach Wade pre: not everything that happened in our first meeting will duplicate tonight. They’re not exactly who they were in November nor are we…they picked at our mismatches and we fouled first game. They were in the bonus early and it puts you in a bad spot.
Coach Wade post: we had point blank shots. Got to make those. Onyenso’s killed us all year. Rebounding was better here we battled.played w better effort but need to combine w details and discipline. Have been coaching effort instead of details. Hopefully now we see what it takes
Coach Wade pre:we get beat in the wash of the game v UVA. We have played them 80 mins. First half of each 4 halves we have won 78-71 last part of halves they beat us by 34. You have to be disciplined.Can’t waste possessions. Other teams don’t. WF almost beat UVA. Need Adjustments
Coach Wade post: (up 7 w 4mins to play) oh you mean Miami and ND? Saved timeouts. Better against press. Nothing crazy. Passes more crisp. Been working on 6-minute game. I’m happy with how we shot it. Now need to go up against a UVA team that blocked our 3s last time
Coach Wade pre: in a must-win situation. Pitt first meeting obliterated us on the glass. We need to meet the physical challenge. They got it inside v Stanford. Dunning made shots and good job by Minor guarding. Few guys play nearly 40 mins.Our guards will need to get in and board
Coach Wade post: We got to the FT line a lot and Ven did a great job sealing and moving pieces, but give Stanford credit tough late shots and loose balls. I told our guys we have great things left in us this year. Need to be tougher than our circumstances. Need to show it.
Coach Wade pre: vitally important game. This is everything you work for all season. Big test for us. Cardinal trying to get off bubble. Can shoot it…have talked to the team about everything at stake and how hard we need to compete. Honoring our seniors.

Coach Wade post: they’re in a different league than us right now. It showed in the physicality especially in the front court. Boozer boy he’s a good player. We went 2-3 zone to try and avoid fouls. We will mix it up moving forward. Massive work between now and Saturday.
Coach Wade pre: need to make Cam Boozer make shots can’t just walk him to the FT line. Isaiah Evans is a legit 3+D guy and will show that at next level.They look like a veteran team that’s been together a while. Need to make multiple passes to beat their D. Gotta get in the paint
Coach Wade pre: our desperation to make the ncaa tourney needs to be better than theirs (ND) to make the ACC tourney. Our energy is good. But without an edge and discipline it makes it difficult to punch above your weight class.

Coach Wade pre: UVA’s one of top O reb teams in the country. They play a style that survives a lot of different ways. This is a great arena/environment will be a huge challenge. physicality really bothered us first meeting. Cavaliers the only team nation w 2 guys 2+ blocks pg
