The Medium Fundamental?

 

[MichDeac25]

This was easily his best game as a Deac. Really great effort tonight.

Get in line, dude.

 

[SkyDivingDeacon]

This team is getting better. Enjoy the ride.

 

[Strickland33]

Get in line, dude.

can't we just enjoy a win, my guy?

 

[Deaconblue]

Hildreth's threes gotta have opposing coaches going WTF do we do now?

 

[DeacInVermont]

What was the final line before the game? We’re we favored by more than 3?

I think it closed at -2.5?

 

[BirdinBama]

Beach, we were -2.5

Double Double

Pretty amazing we can lose the ACC player of the year, a NBA draft pick and then somehow be a better team.

22 point games on the road don't grow on trees

But when they do, the trees might get rolled.

You made the point earlier, it's a really easy team to root for. They play hard as fuck.

 

[WFcatamount22]

What does a 20 point ACC road win do for our NET? Only drop us a couple points?

Forbes. He’s the real deal.

 

[WFcatamount22]

Forbes does not suck.

 

[inspectah]

Great win. Get home and get some rest. I really, really want us to beat Clemson.

If I was handicapping this game dispassionately, I would be all over BC on Saturday. Love going against a team like WF after they hit 54% of their threes, as teams often bounce next time out (particularly on the road). Also, as bad a shooting team as BC is, got to think that their current 26% three point percentage in ACC games has to improve at least a little. Keep in mind that BC generally plays tight low scoring games in Conte, these are the point totals in regulation their last 5 games:

• Duke: 129
• ND: 133
• VT: 118
• Stonehill: 119
• New Hampshire 128

KP projects a total of 140, Torvik 141. If the total is anything close to that, the under is play (get on the under early as the line will dive after it opens, if you want to try to middle). Also given how well WF shot last night and how BC has played at home, the sharp-side of this game will be to take BC if the line 4.5+, also expect this line to drop after it opens. This game will be ugly and low-scoring. Just get a win.

This might be the most spectacularly incorrect take in a Pilch preview I can remember.

And I’m sure he couldn’t be happier to be so wrong.

Let’s roll on Clemson. VIBES.

Would be great if the students and town turn out for this one. Anyone that can make the drive to the Joel needs to be there. Forbes deserves some support.

 

[TownieBrat]

Let's bring the Tigers down to earth on Tuesday with another rout. They've been our nemesis for a while.

Wake was a nothingburger coming off that FSU game
