40 mins of Heck


Those of you old enough to remember Nolan Richardson's Arkansas teams that played what was called 40 mins of hell, from the jump they were in your face and harrassing every pass, shot, dribble, etc.

We do that in a 1/2 court way, and the reason players take time to get mins is that it's not easy and every player on the court has to get it and buy into it. You have to trust and communicate, what Duke and NC didn't do that let us get so many easy scores in big situations late.

Any time you have the ball, a Hokie is squared up against you and in your face from the arc in. That breaks you down and makes you settle for 3s way to often and even when they are open, there is frustration pressure which is why so many teams shoot so poorly against us from 3.
