Donald Wine

He had one game where he was a DNP.

I believe that was against UNC.

And the fact that he was able to come out of that game and come in and understand that with Pat being out, there was going to be an opportunity for him to get more minutes and taking advantage of those minutes, even if it wasn't him making baskets, I thought was great.

But he did hit a three.

They mentioned on the broadcast it was only a second three in ACC play.

But then he fouled that up with another on a steal.

He was able to pick up the ball and go the length of the floor and lay it in off the glass.

He was able to really affect the game.

He had a couple of those where somebody else would steal the ball and the ball would be loose and he'd pick it up and go the other way.

He wasn't credited with the assist, but he was very much a part of that play.

And, again...

having these minutes is going to only make him more comfortable, more confident, having him come off the bench.

You know, we, we, we've talked in this show about guys being ready, staying ready.

So they ain't got to get ready.

And when the moment happens, they'll be ready last year.

When Malik Brown went out, that person who stepped up that had to be Pat Gogba, and he did.

He was a guy that we did not see for large stretches of the first half of the season, and he was ready when his time was there, and he took advantage of it.

I'm not saying that we don't know if Pat's going to be out for a while, but I want Darren Harris to get used to the fact that there's going to be a time where this team needs him to play 13 minutes, 15 minutes.

And for him to have a plus six advantage

for him to score a few points, for him to affect the game on defense and to be a part of some game-changing plays, we need him to be ready for that and to continue to be ready for that because you never know when that's going to be necessary and vital for this team's success.
