    WFU Hoops: '24-'25 Roster Construction Thread: +Spillers/Biliew/Cosby/Johnson/Abass

    I'm only 28 but this portal stuff is getting insane. I know college sports has always kind of been like this but there were at least deterrents to jumping ship every 6 months for a bigger bag. Aside from 10-12 schools in both football and basketball you can't realistically build a program...

    2023-24 Wake Forest Basketball Season - 21-14 (11-9) - KP#29 / NET#43

    Yeah if we're a Q1 win for almost everyone we play, why is that not held in higher regard. Makes no sense.

    2023-24 Wake Forest Basketball Season - 21-14 (11-9) - KP#29 / NET#43

    My issue with quads is the hypocrisy. All these Big 12, Big 10 and SEC schools rack up Q1's at home because of the sheer volume of them. No wonder they all have 4-5 Q1's, half of them are at freaking home. Yet somehow its only a problem when ACC schools get big wins at their place.

    MBB Game 19: @ UNC - Monday 7pm - ESPN

    Yeah, we gave RJ and Horne from State wide open floaters. I guess in theory if our offense didn't get suffocated in both of those 2nd halves the hope is you can give those up but out-score your opponent on offense to cancel it out. But when you suck offensively and can't shoot from 3 then its...

    MBB Game 19: @ UNC - Monday 7pm - ESPN

    The drop coverage is definitely becoming an issue against good teams with above average guards. I completely understand why Forbes is using it this year and its smart in theory, but I think you have to start adjusting in-game more and scrapping it when the mid-range pull-ups and floaters are...

    MBB Game 18: Louisville @ LJVM -- Saturday Noon -- ESPNU

    Except for one where John Collins was so dominant he made people actually believe Manning had something to do with it

    Steve Forbes credibility watch

    Bruh we are 41-5 under Forbes at home since 2021. The Joel fills up and gets rowdy when we are winning, which is beginning to happen more. An on-campus arena would be dope but isn't desperately needed to "save the program" right now. The program is in the best place its been since 2010. People...

    MBB Game 17: @ NC State -- Tuesday 7 pm ACCN

    He's not one of the best coaches in the country. To your point though no. Although 2021 with Jake and Alondes was probably considered over-achieving and that team should have danced. A 25 win ACC team not making the tournament is ridiculous no matter the metrics. This team is the first one he's...

    MBB Game 17: @ NC State -- Tuesday 7 pm ACCN

    I mean I think we run solid half court, BLOB, SLOB sets that get us good looks. Defensively we have improved a ton with Reid. Its fair that Forbes needs to enforce how important it is that guys like him and Sallis be smart with their fouls, because the team struggles with them off the floor...

    MBB Game 17: @ NC State -- Tuesday 7 pm ACCN

    We typically make adjustments and almost alway have a gameplay (light years ahead of the previous two clowns). I get the frustration with the turnovers, some of them are stupid af, but that's not all on the coach. Last night was not his best night and he'd probably be the first to tell you that...

    MBB Game 17: @ NC State -- Tuesday 7 pm ACCN

    Yeah, rough night. Forbes is way better then that but tonight he got out-coached.

    MBB Game 17: @ NC State -- Tuesday 7 pm ACCN

    Pathetic night. State clearly out-played and out-coached us in the 2nd half so credit there, but sucks when Sallis and Reid aren't available for long stretches because of cheap fouls. Reid has definitely gotta learn when to let certain contests at the rim go and to stay still when setting picks...

    MBB Game 15: @ FSU Tuesday (yikes) 7 pm ACCN

    Respectfully, most teams pressing Boopie is a terrible idea unless they have the length and athleticism of FSU to make it tough on him. He'll just blow by. Agree on the backup PG aspect though, can't run him into the ground by February.

    MBB Game 15: @ FSU Tuesday (yikes) 7 pm ACCN

    Not the end of the world with an L here but still frustrating with the turnovers. Don't think any other team in the country can emulate FSU's half court defensive length and size at every position so hopefully just an anomaly. Also helps that you can be that aggressive and not get called for...

    MBB Game 5: LSU -- CC Consolation Final - 3 pm Sunday ESPN2

    I genuinely believe with Marsh's presence alone we win this game today. He could have scored 0 points but he protects Carr from getting into foul trouble and grabs a few rebounds/alters a few jump hooks by simply being a larger human. Also, you don't have to play Zack 30 minutes in a game where...

    Steve Forbes credibility watch

    It is but I mean I don't see how you can look at this game tonight and blame it all on coaching. They have two skilled 7 footers that played lights out and feasted on a depleted front court. Marsh alone changes the outcome of that game and if you add a guy like Damari that would probably have...

    Damari Monsanto can drop 25 on any given night. He would have shot Utah out of that 1-31- in about 3 possessions. That's a huge loss. His presence on the perimeter alone opens the floor for our ball dominant guards to get downhill and score easier.

    WFU Hoops: '23-'24 Roster Construction Thread: +Miller, Sallis, Reid, & Canka

    Anyone have anything on Sallis and how his visit went? Assuming he's probably a Nebraska lock but who knows

    Clemson @ WFU - Saturday 9/24 - 12 Noon ABC

    I wonder if we can try and use some hard counts in this game. Seems like we rarely do but it would be nice to draw Clemson's front 4 off-sides and create some doubt on how to tee-off the snap every play.
