Earlier in the season, senior forward Landon Milbourne had a string of nine games in a row scoring in double figures. That was in January.
He's slipped of late, scoring in single digits in the past six games. It's puzzling.
I asked him at Greensboro Coliseum today simply to assess how he has been playing. Here is what he said:
"I haven't been scoring that well lately. I've been struggling for like the past six games. Coach says it's a new season so I'm trying to get out to a fresh start and see if we can pick it back up.
A blank slate really. The regular season is over with, so it's no reason for me to think about that. We've got more games to play."
I next asked him about the fun of playing in the postseason.
"It is exciting. It's where we wanted to be at the beginning of the season.We wanted to be at the top of the ACC coming into this tournament," he said.
Maybe he should focus on exactly that -- his excitement of playing in the ACC and NCAA tournaments.
