The other day the Tar Heels team already had another game this season, thanks to the last game with a slower pace the players did not spend much energy and were prepared for that game.
Jake had already talked to Coach Guthridge that after this game he would go to Miami to spend a week with his mother, he wanted to take advantage of these opportunities to stay home because this season would be very crowded and players would never have more than a week to relax.
So he would go this time and around Christmas again, because then only in February would the players have some time to rest and spend with their family and then just after the end of the season.
Jake had to enjoy it because he regretted not doing it last season and Coach Guthridge gave Jake more freedom because he knew how great he was in every game and training of the season.
