Was this the game thread? It didn't even hit 100 posts. Yikes.
One post the whole game. But hey, in a sea of 20 posts the whole entire game I guess it stood out. Sorry.
I sometimes wish that I had invested my life savings in betting against Wake on the road for the last decade. It wouldn’t really be gambling since the outcome is such a lock.
Manning is a complete joke of a basketball coach. I’m done with Wake basketball until he is gone.
Hope it didn’t take you until now to realize that.
Get it going, Noles. C’mon now.
I see both sides of it. I do not want to root against our guys. But there is no public guarantee that Manning is gone. So like it or not any win helps Wellman potentially craft a narrative that he needs one more year. Especially if the buyout rumors are true. So those hoping Wake loses are just playing the long game for the long term good of WFU basketball. But I realize it feels like the current players get sacrificed in the process.
Either way they’re sacrificing though, because playing out the string on such a hopeless tram for a hapless coach must be pretty miserable, even if they hide it well.
I actually flipped over toward the end of the first half and watched a little bit. Wake was ahead when I started watching, but Hoard didn't play the entire time, and then Wake ended up down by the half. I looked at the box score at halftime, and sure enough, Hoard had 2 fouls. They were leading by two, when he picked up his second foul (8 minutes or so to go in the half?), and then ended up down 7 at the half. I didn't even bother to watch the second half. When I looked at the final box score, Hoard finished with only 2 fouls. Great coaching Danny!
Typical Manning. He has lost a ton more games with this tactic than he ever had players foul out. He really is a very dumb person and should not have to make decisions that impact other people.
