As his injuries mounted and his frustrations likely grew, Nassir Little could've easily made excuses about his recent play entering Saturday's game against Florida State.
First came his right ankle injury against Virginia, which he played only two minutes against. Then came a blow in the sternum against Wake Forest. And before he could fully recover from either, he bumped knees with a teammate at practice earlier last week, leaving him even more banged up for Wednesday's game at Duke.
"I felt like I couldn't catch a break," said Little, who was limited to 24 total minutes across the three games.
