Daivien really struggles against ball pressure and physical teams. Having Cam capable of bringing the ball up in addition to Tyree has been huge. When Daivien was our best ball handler last year there were times like against Miami at home that we struggled to even get the ball across half court vs the press. Teams copy-catted that and it was one of the main factors in us fading down the stretch and missing the tournament.Great game all around. One thing- Williamson appeared to be on an upswing until last night, but he was awful in the first half. We will need him, as he is the only bench guy that could conceivably give 10+ during a game.
Looked like he was limping at times during the game, not sure if he retweaked something.Great game all around.

Believe it or not Carr put on about 15 pounds this summer with the Wake strength staff. I don't think his frame is the kind that will easily add the 25ish additional pounds he'd need to be closer to a PJ Hall type, but even another 10 pounds of muscle would be great.Carr and Klintman after an offseason in the weight room are going to be really interesting.
I assume, given his nature, Carr will be fully attentive to weightlifting technique and proper form.
Bolded part for sure. I don't think it's surprising therefore that he had the game he did. He will always be a streaky shooter, but those streaks go more in your favor when your shot selection is more selective. And when he's shooting better, he's going to be more engaged overall.Then obviously, the star of the show was Damari. He gets the crowd going more than anyone and when he's hot it's so damn fun. He shot great, BUT to me everything else he did was much more important. He passed up shots multiple to get teammates better shots. He rebounded, defended, was running the break. Was energized the whole time, seemed like the team and whole place fed off him. Was really, really fun to watch. I know he won't shoot that way again probably, but if he keeps everything else up he takes this team to a new level.
He actually looks to me like he may have put on a few pounds since the beginning of the season. I mean, he's not going to be mistaken for The Hulk, but an extra 10 lbs. would go a long way.Believe it or not Carr put on about 15 pounds this summer with the Wake strength staff.

Found it pretty funny that Childress complained about that technical and then later said the foul on Cam was a good call when the FSU dude clearly shoulder-checked him while he was in perfect guarding position.
Basically his mantra is "only pussies fall down, just play on but also make fun of them" which makes a lot of sense in context of the McInnis crossover. Bet he's the guy in pickup games that never, ever calls fouls.
The thing is, you ripped Cam early in the season, and then he balled out and you apologized. So this is a trend.I know how you feel.
Outside the box idea for Wake athletics: allow a camera crew to do a Last Chance U type show with some degree of locker room / practice access. In doing so the company producing / airing the series would need to compensate the players for the use of their name, image, and likeness, and we as fans would get some awesome inside looks at the program.Following Monsanto this season feels like I'm watching a player from Last Chance U...

Yeah, they showed CP3 getting a phone call from Jordan, and everyone (except the staff) knew he'd be gone after that.we did something similar in 2004 IIRC

Wow. Oh, how college athletics have fallen to the beast of football money... Must have been an awesome time to be a Wake basketball fan with an in-tact, regional ACC with three- and four-years players. The streaming environment now makes a show like that pretty easily distributable. ACCN should do an all-access documentary during the ACC Tournament and air it after the season is over2005. The Season. That’s where we got that clip of Michael Jordan calling Chris Paul during a team meal on the road.
