As Rick Barnes unpacked his thoughts on Monday to the media, he pointed to one thing that he had been preaching on for the duration of the season.
Consistency.
Specifically, consistency from his guards. Barnes was pressed about highlighting one area where he felt like his team was lacking and he immediately brought up the feel for the game.
“Understanding how important possessions are at certain points in the game — our guards — just like in football. You want a quarterback that has a total feel for the game,” Barnes said.
He pointed to a Villanova guard for reference.
