Postgame Thoughts… Wake Forest

[NineOneSeven]

Where to start…

Officiating was awful. That wasn’t off Buddy. BUT… just don’t inbound the ball there. What were Cole and Joe doing?

Edwards out was, unsurprisingly, huge. And Frank not coming in sooner after that is ridiculous. Awful coaching.

Hey… we won the first 5’ of the second half though.

Coach lost this game for the team but will blame Jessie for fouling out.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

You may beat us .. in fact you probably will .. but
YOU
WILL
NOT
COVER

 

[MikeSU02]

Refs were terrible. Jimmy at center was a mess.

 

[kingtidge]

Can certainly blame the refs as well as our coach for this one. Equally terrible.

 

[CuseCPT]

The team very nearly overcame their head coach and the officials to pull out a win today, feel bad for the kids.

 

[MikeSU02]

Also, Buddy was 5-20

 

[Orangezoo]

Officiating was a disgrace but coaching was awful too.

100% agree.

That out of bounds call was atrocious.

Jimmy getting to play center was mind boggling.

Yes Swider was hit on the arm and should have had 2 shots. Welcome to life on the road.
I'm sorry but that was a well earned loss.
Inbound the ball in regulation with 10 seconds. Get fouled. Make a free throw. And win the game. When we couldn't do that we deserved the loss.
What difference does it make? This team isn't going anywhere.

I . . . Hurt myself today . . . To see if I still feel. I . . . Focus on the pain . . . The only thing that’s real. The needle tears a hole . . . The old familiar sting. Try to kill it all away, but I remember EVERYTHING.

 

[UpstateSM]

Anytime your shooting guard who does nothing but jack is 5-20 he HAS to play 39 minutes

 

[Ghost]

I thought that last play was well designed. The one just before that for Jimmy as well.

 

[jncuse]

We just put the rest of ACC on watch by valiantly covering the spread.

 

[Orangezoo]

I'm ready for this season to be over. Let's get to the part where we actually do something to start correcting the problems.

 

[NineOneSeven]

I was prepared to lose this one and be completely fine with it. Then we shockingly had the win if we just inbounded the ball. Classic!

 

[bigmike]

Sports are about duress - putting your opponent under it, and overcoming it when your opponent puts it on you. It’s quite simple, this year we don’t have enough horses to do that.

 

[BvilleBullet]

Why not Anselm at center after Jesse fouled out? I feel like jb has buried this team. Like 3 or 4 starters would be reserves on most teams.

 

[NineOneSeven]

I was ready to send a care package to Bruce Arians-look a like’s house for not pressing.

 

[two3zone]

Wake is an awful team, I don’t know how they have as many wins as they do. That said, they pressured us up the court only twice and we still lost. The defender on Buddy was good and and the weak side defense by their big was good. Frank comes in at the 9 minute mark and we win the game I’m guessing handedly.

 

[hoopsupstate]

That sidelines inbounds set was stupid. Why not have all ten players within five feet of the ball. HOW THE HELL is anyone going to get open? I expect more from a hall of fame coach. There wasn’t even a play, but just get open. There was not one screen set. The screener is always open.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Meh .. if wake doesn’t choke horrifically at the FT line we lose by a lot . We didn’t deserve to win
Most pathetic thing was how easily they scored after the TO at the end of regulation. Imagine, a coach drawing up a play that worked

 

[walsh2012]

terrible officiating but the fact that we cant run an inbounds play at that point is just inexcusably bad coaching

boeheim is done he's gotta hang it up
