“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.”
-Vincent Van Gogh
Since the age of four I have been playing basketball and I have learned a countless number of lessons about life that have made me the young man that I am today; for example, how to talk to people, how to handle criticism or advisory, and responsibility and taking full ownership of my actions. Now with two MAC games played and both of them slipping out of our hands, I have yet again learned another life lesson that I will never forget. And that lesson is appreciating the little things.
Starting the MAC 0-2 is not what we expected, however some lessons are learned the hard way and this is one of those times. Now you could blame our losses on missed shots or a number of things, but the real answer is not getting the little things done. For those who don’t know what I mean by little things, a little thing could be a lot of things. Setting a good screen, boxing out, cutting hard, getting loose balls, getting deflections, taking charges, and number of non-categorical events that happen in a game. Taking two early losses in MAC play, I feel that this is an aspect that we must improve on. Vincent Van Gogh said it the best, “Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Once we can get this concept cemented into our brains, the sky will be the limit. Until next time, that’s Wats’ Up!
