MBB Game 22: WF Heads North To the Dome: Saturday 8 pm ACCN

Guess Man Man can't score anytime that he wants after all.

Just a horrible night from our two go-to guys.
 
Down to #40 in KP, below UNC (34) and VT(39)

Syracuse defense moves down (!) to #224 in the country.
 
Clearly, the team was humbled, the coach was humbled and a significant portion of our fan base was humbled tonight.

Those that said Williamson and Monsanto would make a difference were right as they scored 37 of our 72 points. Only player from the first game to really contribute at the same level was Walton with 8 (had 9 in first game).

Williams and LaRavia had 37 in the first game, 13 tonight. Alondes (I can score when I want) and Jake (playing BC is like the NBA) might not as well have been out there tonight.

LaRavia's game was perplexing. He continuously received the ball deep in the paint but continued to pass out of it. Completely opposite of the UNC game where he challenged the inside almost every time he touched the ball.

Mucius, took 8 shots, all 3's. in the two games he is 6 for 22. And if he wants to be the defensive stopper, well, maybe he could have tried to slow up buddy.

Just imagine if Davien and Damari hadn't showe up for this game, they were 9 for 14 from 3. The rest of the team was 2-13.

Maybe there was nothing Forbes (at some point the team coaches itself) could do, but it took Davien laying on his back to get him really on the officials. We got mauled inside all night, if you want to let it happen, then be a nice guy, if not get on the refs back.

And let's remember we had 4 full days to prepare for this embarrassment. Not sure what we practiced. Gave up 55 in the second half.

Needless to say our passing was horrendous tonight.

Not the end of the world. Road games in the ACC are hard, but would have expected a more competitive game. Way to early to put us in the NCAAT based on this performance. Better take care of business against Pitt

Just to rub salt in our wounds. Syracuse scored 53 points against Pitt, we let them score 55 in a half.
 
Offense didn't execute. Too many bad shots. Too many turnovers.

Would have liked LaRavia at least attempt to power the ball to the rim a few times. Results couldn't be any worse.
 
We got 0 points from guards not named Williams in the first game. Having Williamson and Monsanto available for this one will make a difference.

Agree about Williamson and Monsanto... If either/both of them are on target from 3, that should be a HUGE help. Monsanto clearly not shy.

We're going to kick the shit out of Syracuse.

feels like ManMan and Laravia are perfect high post zone busters

I’m sure an opponent will humble me soon, but currently feel none of these wack ass teams (minus Duke) can beat Wake.

This is a different Wake Forest team than the dumpster fire we've experienced in the past decade of UwA. Typically, this would seem like a very difficult game and I would temper my expectations. But this isn't redacted or a dumb mannequin and the players on this team are not their players either. So...

IN FORBES I TRUST! Now go grind the orange into juice.
Go Deacs!

This is the season they are taking care of “old business”. Win @ UVA? Check. Win in ATL? Check. The big air conditioner is about to be shut down!

fair - but this particular Syracuse team's defensive efficiency is by far the worst for Syracuse since KP began tracking in 1997.

Over that time, their defense has been ranked outside the top 100 twice (2017 and 2020, both in the top 120). This year their defense ranks #220.

You seem to take joy in this loss and try to shit on me not caring?

GTFOH, 80s deac

I take no joy, but a lot of our fan base thought we'd just go up there and romp. Learn your lessons from history.

As for you learn who the players are if you want to post about them. Kind of inane to ask who is such and such in game 22. If your don't care fine, but think before you post .
 
No idea why this site insists on reposting a mulit quote once it's used. And won't let me edit it after it's posted.

I'd suggest to the same to you. Your last two posts are striking. You probably think you come across as some savant sports guy, but really you just come off as an "I told you so!" dickhead.


I never once said "i told you so!" about Bz or Manning. You voted for Trump, no? Tell me I'm wrong.

Computers are hard for some.

Go "unclick" the posts that you just "clicked" to post after your do your entire quote post.

I'm sure you'll get there eventually! Let me know if I can assist any further.

You have to close the tab or manually uncheck all the multiquoted entries.
 
The folks who come to game threads after painful losses and “I told you so” at earlier happy posts from fans enjoying the team…I just dunno about those folks

We are 2-11 against 'cuse all time. The zone killed a Prosser led team with JoHo on it. It doesn't really matter what I think or anyone on this board thinks, but many tried to warn that you just don't roll over 'cuse and their zone. How Williams and LaRavia only score 13 is perplexing. They were 5-17 from the floor, how they only take 17 shots is a mystery.
