Wake Forest Basketball 2019-20 - KP #100 - #70 Offense / #149 Defense

And that Davidson win that seemed like a decent win earlier in the season? They are now 7-9, and ranked 100.

We haves wins over 243, 250, 100, 136, 302, 59, 296, 78.
Losses to 168, 156, 16, 37, 44, 14, 2, 51

We've played maybe 3 good teams and still have an 8-8 record....
 
Yikes, Xavier is down to 59. They've lost 4 of 5. They were ranked when we played them.
 
OTOH, Charlotte was 236 when they beat us... Now 156!

Embarrassing that they’ll rebuild from Mark Price before we even fire Manning.
 
101 losses and counting at WFU for the Mannequin. How did we miss the landmark century mark in the Duke game summary? It is damn near impossible to keep a job long enough to lose that many in 5 1/2 yrs. Kind of takes the Wake Will Lead motto in the wrong direction.
 
So will Currie renegotiate Manning's contract and give him another season after this promising season? Seems like something the admin would support. Just trying to figure out how to temper expectations.
 
Didn't know where to put this, but enjoyed the trip down memory lane (kind of).

*Sigh*

Downey makes that FT and we're 14-2 and regular season ACC champions by virtue of the tiebreaker over UNC and would have been the 1 seed in the ACCT. Instead of pulling a pissed-off NC State team that ultimately went to the Sweet 16, we would have played our first ACCT game against a Clemson team that went 16-16 and that we beat by 35 on the road earlier in the year. Next would have been a tough Georgia Tech team, which beat UNC in the tournament, but it wouldn't matter at that point. We would have had UNC's one-seed and would have avoided WVU.

How would we have done? Probably would have choked anyway. But anything's better than the reality.
 
CORRECTION: It is the Jersey Mike's Jamaica Classic

Official Wake Forest Release: https://godeacs.com/news/2020/1/24/mens-basketball-wake-forest-to-compete-in-2020-jersey-mikes-jamaica-classic.aspx

"We are really excited for the opportunity to go to Jamaica and experience that part of the world," said head coach Danny Manning. "Visiting new countries and seeing different cultures is always a great life experience for our student-athletes. We are looking forward to playing quality competition down there in some first-class facilities. These early-season tournaments are always are a great tool to prepare our team for the challenges that will come later in the season."

Uh... Don't book your travel quite yet, Danny!
 
Defense, the thing we hang our hat on, just keeps getting worse and worse as the season goes on.

108, 67, 161
