The Blue Zone

Williams:

- Good timing with the week off due to injuries. Hopes to have Leslie for Maryland, though Luke Davis is not available this week and will be in a boot.

- Coming off a mixed week in losses to Virginia and Miami and win against Florida State. Called Florida State the most complete game so far for the Heels.

- Compared time after Miami game and before FSU like "being on the edge of the cliff." One loss in the league, you're wounded. Two losses in a row, you're really wounded. Rebounding, sense of urgency and bench play was the difference in the FSU win.

- Young teams take time to adjust to speed, quickness, strength, intensity of college game. Says it doesn't just take 15, 16 games to get used to it, but an entire season. Says in summer leagues and in high school basketball you play 4 games in a day, so you don't learn importance and significance of winning.
