Josh Harrellson is playing good. No, scratch that. Josh Harrellson is playing great and I am currently on the Josh Wagon. That’s not to be confused with Jack Wagon. I might be overly optimistic or just psyched out by Josh’s recent great play, but I am looking for him to score 15+ tonight against MVS. Especially if he dunks it more.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
Here is what Josh had to say in the pre-game conference yesterday.
[I]On if he credits himself or Coach Cal for his success this season …[/I]
“It is definitely 50-50. Coach Cal is the one that put me up to this, but I could have easily said, ‘Forget it I am not going to do it because it’s hard.’ I just stuck with it and it is all paying off now.”
[I]On if his mindset on the game has changed since he might have a further career in basketball beyond college …[/I]
“Yeah, I believe so. I think that I can play somewhere. Who knows where it will be and who knows what the future holds for me. But right now, I am focusing on this season.”
[I]On their schedule in the gym this week with finals …[/I]
“Yeah, we practiced every day. We actually had Sunday and Monday off and Tuesday was a light day and Wednesday wasn’t bad. We have been practicing. Thursday was pretty hard and today, I am sure, is going to be tough to get us prepared for tomorrow.”
[I]On the team coming together the next few weeks since they don’t have school …[/I]
“I think that there is a lot of team chemistry built over that time. (Last year) we were together all day, every day and hung out at least three times a day. If it was one practice or two practices we always hung out three times, whether it was a movie late at night or just going bowling. It was good for team chemistry and once we built that it was hard for us to separate because we knew what everybody was doing on the court.”
Game is at 8 tonight. We’ll see you right here on NOB for a live stream and chat.
