Postgame Thoughts... Wake Forest ACCT

We had the ball with 30 seconds left in a tie game and I knew we were going to lose

We had the lead

They had five guys in front of Wake bringing the ball up court. Wake just did what they wanted to knowing that SU was going to fall back into a 2-3 zone and not double their shooters. They overloaded one side and forced Benny to guard three guys, a 30% 3PT shooter, a 36% 3PT shooter, and a 38.3% shooter.

He caught it at 3 seconds left. He literally could have passed to 2 other guys for even more open looks. And we have essentially 4 guys around Appleby

Yeah, and that's the other problem. Every guy WF had out there can and will hit a three - though they should have forced Hildreth and Carr to make the shot. Leaving every guy but one with space and at worst 1-1 while hoping they miss is just poor strategy when all five can shoot to some degree.

Hak got one in 2003, and JAB never forgot it.

It was tied. They won 77-74, unless you have some different math.

This is a sadder feeling than I thought itd be. Jim, in the end, is a big part of Cuse

Not sure what this is supposed to prove. There are many nuances to teams, coaches, and coaching records. The other poster said JB was a bad coach and fattened up on cupcakes (as if no one else has) and I said that was silly because it is.

JB has a great % against higher seeds
