FEELS LIKE NOVEMBER
If there’s a “dog days” in the college basketball season, it’s probably February. The initial excitement of conference play has worn off and the NCAA tournament is still a month away.
But it’s also a time when, Miller says, the Wildcats can keep accelerating if they treat it like November. Especially an open week like this past one, where the Wildcats had eight full days off before Saturday's game.
“When you get to February, everybody skips it and you go to March,” Miller said. “It’s almost as if you’ve played so many games, that now it’s about the games and what’s to come. It’s not as easy to practice; it just isn’t.
“But if you can have a team that continues to think about practicing hard almost like you do in November, there’s a hidden advantage there because your team can continue to get better.”
