A pat on the back for Gaffney

Gaffney being Gaffney (just like Polley and so many others) he will likely have many more ups and downs through the season. It’s great to see him do well in an important piece of a must-win game. Hopefully he can figure out what it takes to bring that same skill and energy in the future to be a key part of a big run.
 
“When a team is built together, and when guys spend 11 months a year together, and a guy’s in his junior year, it’s a family,” Hurley said. “It hasn’t been fun for any of us watching him not play well, but hopefully this is the beginning of him being the guy we need him to be.”

I still think Gaff figures it out this year. It’s there. I recall that game his freshman year against Houston at home. He was a completely different player. His give a duckk meter needs to go way down. He’s too tentative. He needs to just play and let the chips fall where they may. But he can’t revert to basically just getting in cardio and being a non factor
 
Gaffney's a good dude who can help us if he can get it together. I like having a coach that doesn't bury guys who are working hard.
