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.

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

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

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

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

This version of Turner makes them a tough team

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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."

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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