He's had to make the biggest adjustment of anybody on our team. He's gone from playing on the block to now being a pure perimeter player. As opposed to standing behind people and trying to block shots, he's now breaking down (opponents) in a defensive stance, trying to contain people who have played guard all their lives.
More Quotes from Leonard Hamilton:
He didn't have the spring and had a tough time holding his position. I don't know exactly when it happened until the second half when he said he couldn't go. At that point I noticed him limping.Leonard Hamilton
We did not meet their style of ball with the type of enthusiasm that we should have. Maybe this is the type of game we needed to keep reality in front of us. We are not a team that can afford not to be at our very best mentally every time we step out.

Getting beat on the boards seemed to be a very significant part of this game. You have to give them a lot of credit for pounding the glass. It seemed like every time we've played them the last couple of years, they've been much better prepared on the boards than we have. We got beat by a team that did the things they need to do within their scheme in order to win the game tonight.

I just thought our players found a way to bounce back from the disappointment. We haven't spent time dwelling on anything negative. Now we're in the NIT and we have to go about handling our business.

Unfortunately for us, we allowed what little measure of success we've had in the season and we've become like most teams -- they lost their focus for whatever reason. Sometimes growing mentally is just as much of a skill as it is dribbling and passing. And for whatever reason, Clemson demonstrated that they had grown a little bit better in those areas than we have.
