Wake Forest Game Thread

[Corporal Funishment]

Wake Forest has lost 2 in a row including a loss to Clemson where Clemson ended the game on a 15-0 run to overcome a double digit deficit

Wake Forest also had a 38-3 lead against us last year

Danny Manning's sideline demeanor is rivaled in intensity by that of a man waiting for a bus. That same man may rival Manning in end of game coaching prowess

We can pull into a tie for first in the conference with a win!

BC +15 feels insane to me. Should be BC +6 or so

Agree, was not shocked by being underdogs, but was very shocked by it being 2 TDs. I would have guessed +8 or 9.

maybe someone with a line into vegas brought the team chipotle from hanes mall

Two players for the Celtics were hospitalized yesterday due to illness, so maybe E. Coli is back in a big way.

[claver2010]

love how bowman just puts his head down and goes to the hoop in transition, needs to work on his FTs - so does the entire team

[ILikeBC]

Vegas line was Wake +15 and BC +1000 on the money line. Insanity.

[twballgame9]

Look good. Open threes just not dropping or they have a nice lead.

This version of Turner makes them a tough team

[claver2010]

3 for 14 from 3 and up on the road, they'll start falling

[Corporal Funishment]

Yes. We're getting open shots every possession. If they start falling Wake will be under a lot of pressure. Take away Collins and they can't generate O consistently

[twballgame9]

They are going to get worn down in the post so they need a few to fall. But yes.

They also did this with Steve Francis having an off night and Robinson sitting.

[twballgame9]

Nice play design there by longdistanceeagle

I said PLAYING LIKE Steve Francis, not second coming of Steve Francis

We look much more confident and resilient than we did a month ago. When the other team scores 2 buckets in a row I don't see that "here we go again..." vibe any more

Relax I actually thought the comparable was a decent one.

[twballgame9]

I like how Popovic gets the ball up quick and soft. It looks weird but he never gets blocked and the ball always goes in

[twballgame9]

While I'm giving kudos to longdistanceeagle I just wanted to give a shout out to his management of the minutes in the first half using Owens and a couple other dudes off the bench and really riding Chatman.

[claver2010]

on a similar note, nice to see jc reyes have some effective minutes

[Uptown Eagle]

First full game I've watched, as I only caught the end of the Syracuse game the other day....

Can't get the stupid link to work, but anyway. "These guys ain't so fuckin' bad."

[twballgame9]

If they lose this game, the only reason is lack of legs. Need to make some shots.

[twballgame9]

Chatman needs to get some of Steve Francis' minutes right now. He's dead tired. Could use a backup PG.

[twballgame9]

This is the kind of game where having 4 or 5 players crushes you. Just look exhausted

[Tom Dooder]

Ain't gonna win if Bowman goes 1-20. Needs to start making some shots.

[BCEagles25]

Dude, at what point in this game did our gameplan become "get wide open and hit the back rim"? Every single miss has been off the back of the rim.

[twballgame9]

He's 1 for 20 because he's exhausted. Needed to make the early threes. This game is over.

[twballgame9]

This team could use a backup PG. Too bad they didn't recruit one of those.

[BCEagles25]

I like that Popvic cares a lot

[BCEagles25]

Having an overbearing father pulling a player out of the program is called an abberation. Let it go

How did they not know? Excuses excuses.

[twballgame9]

How could they know Eli Carter was a selfish ball hog? Is not like there was any tape on him.
