Mark Pope spent some time this afternoon talking about how Brandon Garrison has responded in practice after being benched during the North Carolina Central game.

“We had a conditioning session…he won every sprint…it was awesome,” Pope said of Garrison.

Pope said he’s proud of Garrison’s response.

“Growing is hard, growing is ugly. But it’s worth it and so it’s pretty inspiring,” Pope continued. “I’m proud of the way he rolled into practice and his commitment and his intensity and his care and his response. It’s gotta translate to in-game performance, but I was proud of him yesterday.
