Team Camps and Winning Expectations

As promised many moons ago, I would post some boring basketball news. We are on our last day of team camps. We started at Alta Vista (went 5-1 with the one loss coming against a state semifinalist last year). It was a good time and we learned some things. We've come to NC State to play against the "big boys" and have more than held our own (we're 6-1 here as well, and in the one we lost we gave away a double-digit lead and ended up losing by 4). We've said all week that there is just a different feel when you EXPECT to win rather than hope to win. And this team simply expects to win when they take the court. That confidence and the expectation of winning is going to be big as we continue our development and head into next season. We have gotten a lot out of the last several days (not to mention our individual camp 2 weeks prior to this) but this Coach is ready to be home with his wife and his dog! 210 Tanager Lane will look GOOD tonight!!
