Coby White forcibly busts through the Freshman wall

Posted Feb 28, 2019
Freshmen often hit a wall at some point during the college basketball season and it appeared that Coby White busted through that wall Tuesday. After combining for six 3-pointers in the previous four games on 27 attempts, he made six 3s against Syracuse on 11 attempts. “I just came in with confidence,” White said. “After getting my first one in, I felt pretty good."
