They hit shots because they gave them the rythem to make shots. Coming into the game in terms of defensive percentage we were #1 in the ACC in terms of defending the paint.

Though,

Hubert Davis wasn’t the only Davis to share his thoughts as RJ Davis did as well commentating on his teammate Seth Trimble. Whatever needs to be spoken in that moment some nice, some mean we have to hold each other accountable.
