Postgame Thoughts… Wake Forest game 2

[djcon57]

Not only did the students show up but they stayed until the end. Very impressive

For sure...also Covid must have gone away this weekend and the weather got better, I guess.

but seriously, the turnout is a very good sign for JB, specifically, and the program in general.

Long live the King of Syracuse!!!

Taught Buddy and Cole how to make a jumper and the defense how to rotate quicker.

Your right we didn’t make 3 subs before the under 12 TO. Tonight.

We didn’t see Benny getting 10 first half minutes in conference play.

I mean the second half we made a lot of shots.
However there was a lot of positive changes made this game.
This wasn’t the status quo.

 

[Trueblue25]

Unlike most, was there tonight.

23 and change announced, I’d say more like 19,000. Not a bad crowd but the crowd isn’ getting into it like they used to. Understandable. Good win against a solid ACC team. We have a good chance in the first half of February to make up ground.

Frank’s underutalized.

And JW would never tell JB when and who to sub.

Wish I could've seen this one. Looks like the second half was fun to watch.

So you want fewer minutes from Jesse? Frank is the better rebounder but Jesse is far better offensively and defensively.

It’ll be on replay on the ESPN app

Also, OrangeXtreme usually post condensed game highlights somewhere in his postgame article thread. Perfect for.missed games.

As always… winning is nice. Fantastic second half. Especially on defense. Forced some turnovers, some for transition hoops. That’s what we are used to (historically).

Buddy was on fire this game. Clearly capable but the up and down can really swing for him and really impacts the overall team.

Jesse got called for some absolutely awful fouls. 3 of the 4 were just…. awful. As in, they weren’t fouls.

Cole was great. We need that.

Joe made some very nice passes as well especially pushing the action.

Bench was fantastic first half. Symir got inside, Frank threw it down, and Benny was extremely active.

To the last point… I just don’t understand why he wouldn’t get in again in the second half. It’s just so weird to me. Of all games, too.

And a buzzer beater by Andy Dalton! S16 incoming.

Torrence should have played more. We are so much quicker with him in

 

[tino]

A GREAT WIN! Which we needed right now and need to continue to do. If we play like this which we can, we are going to win more games - logical right. Congrats to us and the students and band back to support the team. If we can beat them at 17-4 we can beat anyone in this league.

Many contributions by Cole, Jesse and Joe who played well tonight.

Line: Swider 18, BB 30, Joe 13, Jesse 12 and JB 6

57.1% FG, 3 PT 52.6, FT 70.6

This is the team we can be every game - LET'S DO IT!

AND, with everyone back 23,194 cheering heads make a difference - largest crowd in college basketball this season.

Yoo inconsistent. Need to play Torrence more

 

[Alsacs]

Torrence should have played more. We are so much quicker with him in

He isn’t 100%.
Jb did a good job tonight.
Only thing fans would have wanted was Benny for Jimmy in the last 7-8 minutes.

The rest he was on fire.
Symir didn’t need to play anymore with the game in control.

The announced crowd was for tix sold. For an announced crowd it was the largest in the country this year.

Current production from the 4 could sacrifice additional minute to Frank. There’s no reason not to play a real, big, lineup when the game’s close.

Neither are a 4. Won’t happen. This year at least.

While that’s true, the portion of the crowd that wasn’t in white out was fairly quiet

We’re below .500, If Frank cut into Jimmy’s PT perhaps it wouldn’t be for the worse.

 

[GoSU96]

Nice game. This is how I hoped we play. It just hasn’t happened enough.

Yep, this was always going to be an offense first team. Too many games with two or three guys hitting low percentages

 

[GoSU96]

cole was tough, buddy was very tough. Frank went straight to the rim, as did Jessie, Joe pushed the ball. Benny made a difference, that was the team I was waiting for all year, and it started with Cole and Buddy in the second half.

Might be the best all around game buddy has ever had

 

[OmahaCuse]

Frank has very good hands and is a fast leaper. add 20lbs on him he will be hard to contend with

 

[NorSyr66]

Great win. If we had a bench this team might have Wake's record.

...of course it all start with the willingness to play the bench!!!!

 

[DilemaCuse]

Buddy said in the post game that this the best Cuse team he’s played on

No
