Just got done with it a few minutes ago. Stoudamire said the three guys that are now out of the boots are still not ready to come back and play this week. He did say that Reeves has been doing a little more work and alluded to him possibly being back sooner than the other two. He said O'Brien is getting his checked again soon (I assume to start ramping back up his workload), and he said he didn't really have an update on Mustaf and where he was in his process.

Stoudamire said he was very encouraged after going back and watching the film of the game on Saturday and how his team's energy and effort early in the second half really changed the momentum of the game. And like he said on Saturday, it was nice to see one of those games go their way with how hard they played after all the bad breaks and injuries they've had go against them this season. He said they have to get some carry-over from that to Tuesday at Clemson because he knows Brad Brownell's team will be ready to bring the fight to them from the start so his team has to match that energy.

Stoudamire talked about Lance Terry's contributions to the team and being such a good player on both ends of the floor. He said Lance was definitely there when they needed him most on Saturday against Louisville with some huge buckets and defensive plays.

Stoudamire talked about his conversations with Baye Ndongo about being smart with how he plays in the paint especially early in the games, not picking up cheap fouls to stay out of foul trouble. He also said he thought a couple of the fouls on Baye on Saturday were not very good calls (or something to that effect).

I'll have to wait until the ACC sends the recording of the call and see if there was anything else notable to add for notes and quotes (because like a guy without a fully-functioning brain, I just flat-out forgot to record the call.)
