Wake Forest Postgame

[tptcuse]

We played best when Carlos was out but nobody on our staff will ever notice.

 

[UpstateSM]

Three of their starters had four fouls with 15:30 left and we lost lmao

Oy

 

[NineOneSeven]

It was fun when Kyle Cuffe went full Spud Webb for a bit and Lucas Taylor was hitting fadeaways but…

Glad the starting lineup changed in the 2nd but the rotations continue to confuse me. Not surprising considering everything though.

Bell’s regression is historic.

When was the last time we entered the new year mid-season under 0.500?

 

[Millhouse]

two post game threads too many
wake me up when we have a winning coach

 

[Scooch]

Gritty effort from our plucky low major team. Gotta be proud of these guys for being able to hang with an ACC team.

Not sure this staff is good enough to get them ready for the MAAC tourney in March. But if so, anything can happen, and #15 seed here we come.

 

[Blanko97]

Dont care that they came back. They played bad and they lost. Moral victories are for losers.

 

[Ghost]

Happy for Cuffe in the first half.
Not that shocked that Autry played him 20 minutes in the second half. He's clueless.

Cuffe do good = Cuffe play every minute.

Maybe we get Carlos, Cuffe, Taylor for 40 minutes a game now.

Red made a good halftime adjustment and then lost the game with this second half in game coaching and substitutions. Just a terrible coaching performance.

I hear you but it doesn’t matter. A backcourt of Moore/taylor or Moore/cuffe or cuffe/Taylor won’t get it done. The problems run much deeper.

 

[djcon57]

We build a mid major team with a mid major coach.

This is the result. We play tight games and lose like a decent mid major team will do with a good team.

 

[UpstateSM]

I watch a ton of college hoops and that was the worst reffed game I've watched in a long time. Made an already horrible game that much worse.

 

[Orangezoo]

Bell, Westry and McLeod- 3 scholarships giving us nothing on team where we didn’t even recruit to use all of them.

Then JJ injured and Lampkin too injured to stay in shape. Then Carlos registering at a .5. There is just no excuses here

Red learned from the GOAT at playing guys no matter what.

When we went down late we took Donnie out and decided to have Carlos shoot twos and Cuffe shoot threes.
I have no idea why Red decided to go small there. Davis was giving us absolutely nothing. Red has such a quick hook for Donnie despite the fact that he is our second leading scorer and probably our best rebounder.
Cuffe obviously gave us a huge lift in the first half. But that should not have meant that he would play the entire second half. He went two for 14 from the field and one for eight from three. How can that be OK? How can that be our shot selection?
Carlos just gives away so many points at the free-throw line, particularly when he misses front ends of one and ones. You can see him choke because his shooting form changes. And like Childress said he doesn’t set anyone up for an easy shot. The Offense looked no different when he sat in the first half, and it is absurd that he plays every minute, particularly given his liabilities on defense and shooting. Rinse repeat.
It is just a fact that Eddie’s conditioning kills him defensively and precludes him from scoring. And he fumbles the ball over and over. I’m so sick of hearing what a great passer and facilitator he is when he continuously turns the ball over.

Freeman still turning Pro after season?

Red lost this game. Cuffe, Taylor and Carlos played all 20 minutes in the 2nd half. Seems like our long bench is now 7 players. As well as Cuffe did, his lack of shooting cost us this game as much as anything else. 2-14. 1-8 from 3. WF came in as the worst 3-point shooting team in the league and went 9-19. I guess we are now the worst. This team stinks.

I’ve been watching since Roy and can’t remember that ever happening

A LOT of swings and misses on this team.

 

[Sbucketball]

Moral victory for leading part of the second half! You can’t expect us to compete with a program like WF!

Coaching.
