We need Ben on the floor,”You can always say, ‘Woulda, coulda, shoulda.’ If we had Ben at UVA, there’s an opportunity we (would) win the game. Then, obviously, he comes back to the Wake Forest game. Anybody who watched the game knows he was completely not Ben Middlebrooks. Today, he was. I was mad at him at halftime because I thought he was out of position and got those two fouls called on him, but he’s our energy guy. He does all of that dirty work. With him in the game, we’re a different basketball team, especially defensively.”

“Really happy the guys kind of kept faith in me, stuck with me, were able to keep getting the ball and it was gonna go in. Eventually, I was able to get fouled and then make some free throws down towards the end.”
He competes every play. … He’s making real hustle plays,”Whether he’s playing well or not, he’s working hard for us, so it gives me energy and gives me motivation to go out there and play, too.”
