Wake Postgame

[Hoopsfan830]

12 points in 12 minutes would support that position

Also had a couple of fouls and struggled defensively like everyone else. I think he should have played more, but needs to stay out of foul trouble.

Thank god. At most only 3 more.

But White is not a guard. Our only true backup guard is Anthony and he did not play well in limited minutes.

I would have White play forward w/ Freeman if White seems to be having a good night. Kingz and whichever dude (George/JJ) is less error prone in the moment can run the point.

Only a few people on this team NEED to be on the floor big minutes. White was getting it done today, so he would get more until he falls apart. That doesn't mean every game he should get big minutes though.....same sort of thing for Kiyan. Or JJ. Or George. They all have nights where they seem fine, but also seem to have nights where they are abysmal.

I hope White and Kingz are back. The rest can leave. Feel awful for Fennell. What a waste of a year for him.

 

[DilemaCuse]

Sadiq uncle just called in the post game show venting frustration.

Oh for real?

People are saying the players and talent isn’t there. But when u watch this team, all I see is pickup basketball. Absolutely 0 sets and 0 plan on offense. When your coach doesn’t put the players in the right position, your darn right it’s going to look like 0 talent.

watch diawara be really good once he starts playing lol

I'm not really a fan of George and JJ playing at the same time.

The last couple games sit them both and play Fennell and Anthony. George and JJ will go down as the most over hyped backcourt in SU history. There were both terrible most of the year.

10 years ago in 2016, you may remember Syracuse and Pitt had a game very early in conference tourney week (I believe Wednesday) that some deemed a play in game to the NCAA tournament. (as an aside both teams still got in)

10 years later in 2026, looks like the two teams will have a play in game in March once again to get in the tournament... the ACC tournament.

In other bad coaching observations, stop switching to the zone. Team doesn’t execute it well, with slow rotations, even more glaring, they can’t rebound to save their lives out of it.

It’s like instant momentum for the other team.

 

[jncuse]

If Pitt beats us next Sunday, and the two teams each end up 6-12, what would the tiebreaker be?

I suppose Wake might also be involved at 6-12, in a 3 for 2 tiebreaker.

My handle supports this sentiment.
A disgraceful zone it twas

 

[Cheriehoop]

He definitely had a shot attempt. Think he was fouled on the play.

Yes, sorry if I was misleading but if you’re fouled and miss the shot it officially doesn’t count as a field goal attempt. So Kyle was fouled twice and was 3-4=from the foul line but officially had no fga. Ridiculous though that our player with the highest FG shooting % only got the ball twice and only one rebound in 27 minutes, at least to me it does. No one knows how to throw an entry pass?

 

[DilemaCuse]

Make the announcement, JW.

JW must be a sadomasochist for wanting to continue this. He's looking almost as stubborn as JB

Think it goes to head to head not sure if that split as well

Why Anthony? I haven’t seen enough from him to warrant that.

He got a couple favorable matchups against the white point guard, and Nait was trying to get him the ball, but it’s not really in George’s nature to feed the post. Wonder if that’s because a back to the basket big is uncommon in AAU ball.

There were a few other times Kyle rolled to the basket and he was open for a second but were too tentative and slow to make those passes. Or they throw it to his shins.

Red was spot on in his post game press conference. He said this team doesn’t play with toughness. They don’t come down with tough rebounds and don’t go strong at the rim. He said if we get bumped we lose the ball and stop coming off screens. I could feel his pain. He said you have to play on both ends of the floor.

 

[Newhouser]

We need guys who can dribble by guys. George, Donnie, Kiyan ... nobody but JJ can use their dribble to get by a defender.

 

[LAorange44]

This might have been Red’s best press conference

 

[jncuse]

We would split with Pitt, in the scenario we are both 6-12, so I'm wondering what the next tie breaker.

The better question might be should I really care?

In the days where fans could see practices in the dome years ago, coaches, managers playing defense would hold large pads and push, bump, smack players dribbling, going to the hoop, posting up etc. Do they do that anymore?

Tiebreaker Procedures (Two or More Teams Tied):

1. Head-to-Head: Records in games between the tied teams are compared.
2. Record vs. Top Teams: If still tied, records are compared against the highest-seeded team, descending through the standings until a team has a superior record.
3. Winning Percentage: If the number of games played against a common opponent differs, the highest winning percentage prevails.
4. Special Cases: If three or more teams are still tied after comparing records against top teams, the process repeats, or a coin flip is used.

Yeah, Red always knows what’s wrong. He’s just completely incapable of ever fixing it. Like ever.

I’m not worried about Sadiq. When it’s a new staff next year I’m sure they’ll mend the relationship and come with the cash. I could see him starting at the 4 next year regardless of the coach
