What a stupid thread
First I think most people on here do not actively root for Wake to lose. Bzzz has just taken them to such levels of despair that they arent upset when we lose. There is a big difference.
And I dont fault anyone who does cheer for us to lose at this point. They do it because they feel losses in the short term are better for OUR team in the long term
This. I don't root for us to lose. But I do watch our games with a depressed detachment because I'm watching a product that is not serious about playing basketball. Like football and other action sports, basketball is an emotional game. You have to bring energy and focus in order to win. The OP needs to take a step back and watch our energy level and togetherness, or lack thereof. We simply lack discipline and mental toughness. You also have to play defense. As I've opined here many times, FG% D is the most important stat in college basketball. Buzzdick's teams at Wake and Colorado have been last (or maybe 2nd to last) in the ACC and B-12 in FG% D every year. You may out shoot an unmotivated State or Miami team on a given night, but you have zero chance of winning on a regular basis if you're last in your conference in FG% D.
The OP is yet another reason for a 100 post rule.
