Official Wake vs. UTEP Game Thread

Devin was basically unstoppable his senior year. Really limited the technicals too. Collins will be better.

No

 

[DCDeac]

They still havent won.

Well they quit, so that made it easy.

Worth noting we shot 80% from the stripe.

We have a very talented basketball team. There is a lot to be excited about this year and next, losing no one and adding Chaundee to the starting lineup.

Any guesses on the line tomorrow? Gotta think it's double digits, right?

Losing Arians next season.

Very enjoyable game. Got to watch with a buddy in town I hadn't seen a game with in years. We poured on the three pointers, had 50 points with only 3 made baskets inside the arc. The second half strategy looked to be focused on getting the ball inside to Collins and he scored 20 in the half. I think we only took 4 threes in the 2nd. Pretty amazing to see us execute a game plan at will. Then comeback and execute a completely different gameplan at will. We scored 63 with 39 points from deep and I think 10 from two. Then we scored 40 from two and the line. Both halves were efficient in different ways. We were 50% from the field at the half and 59% for the game.

I give Manning a ton of props to his lineups and rotations. Playing Woods off the bench seems to work out well. Changing up the gameplan in the second kept UTEP off guard.

Moore was the only major weak spot today and he simply needs more time to be a reliable presence on both ends.

No

he was suspended for two games and averaged 15 and 10, so i wouldn't really call it unstoppable either

i think his rebounding was undervalued by wake fans, but he was such a passionate idiot most of the time, and got whistled for such dumb things, it didn't endear him much

Already penciling in Chaundeac to the starting line up?

Definitely a better team next year. But that's way out. I'm ready to have some fun this year.

I mean, Collins or Crawford could certainly leave based on early returns.... Really don't want to think about that right now though.

 

[TownieDeac]

Waiting on the McClinton report before I judge the performance.

College of Charleston who wanted to guarantee a game against Wake or Nova.

He'd sit behind Chaundee anyway. Solid gap fill for the year though, no dummy plays today like the first couple of games.

Right, my fault. Replacing Arians with Chaundee in the starting lineup. Good catch.

It's a pretty stacked draft this year, I seriously doubt either of them leave.

Except we played better when he was suspended

Never passed the eye test

Beat up on inferior competition and wilted against guys his skill level (maybe a couple exceptions)

We went 50-79-50 last game and went 59-80-61 today. Wow.
