“Mister Cool! #44––Matt and I came in together as freshman––introduced to each other and never looked back! Excited to have another New Yorker along with Jimmy Black. With the style of play you had to be clever with the ball, especially playin‘ in the ACC. Matt was a savvy and efficient passer; sort of a perfectionist. His assists were on point. I see why coach Smith recruited him. It made our team more diverse at guard with his play and ability to read defenses. He definitely was a student of the game. Wouldn’t define him as a role player, but without him we wouldn’t have been as successful.“
