He hasn't been right for two months. He's carried the burden in a very public way and it's been very difficult for him dealing with what he's dealt with for the past year. He's played in this conference in a very public manner and it'd be difficult for anyone to deal with.
Shawn was magnificent tonight and there?s no denying it. He?s had a great week of practice and we wanted to go with some toughness. He played well.
That's an NCAA tournament team without a doubt. They've played that way down the stretch.
It was kind of like a microcosm of our season. I thought we played hard, I thought we competed hard on the defensive end. We just couldn't make a play when we needed to.
It was a mixed review last week. I was not pleased with our effort or attention to detail against Miami. Then we played at a high level on the defensive end against Florida State. It was nice to see the guys bounce back and show the toughness needed to survive in this conference.
