WF Game 16: UVA @ LJVM -- Saturday 2 pm - ESPN2

[WRS]

Man I love being good at basketball again but I’ve forgotten that this can be really stressful for absolutely no reason.

 

[BarcaDeac]

We smacked Carolina at (their) home the Alondes year and didn’t get to the NCAAs. I’ll trade a loss in the Dean Dome for the NCAA tournament. That said, let’s do both.

It wasn’t even considered that good a win…until Carolina made their tourney run

 

[DeacsPop]

Good job Deacs!! Solid game.

 

[UncleTupeloDeac]

Deacs had 8 blocks today and outrebounded Virginia 40-27

 

[WakeForest Fan]

up to #35 in kenpom

 

[Wakeforest22890]

Yep. Good stuff. FSU wins on the road at ND. That’s gonna be a Q2 loss so no REAL damage there

 

[wakelaw13]

Wake launches up to 35 in Kenpom.

UVA down to 67, a spot above NC State.

We really need to put the Wolpfack in their place.

up to #35 in kenpom

Defensive metrics got a major 30+ spot bump from that performance today. Thanks UVA!

Great job Deacs!! Love this team so much! Also super excited to hear Damari is practicing again… unless Debbie was wrong?

It really felt awesome though. Remember Davis basically said our players were all better and trying harder in his press conference?

I think the word is he just needs to pass his lower body strength test.

Efton has played 9 games and we have outrebounded our opponent in 8 of those games

Only game we were out rebounded was Presbyterian when we won by 23

 

[WakeForest Fan]

no longer have to scroll down to find wake on kenpom
cause for celebration

 

[deacon14]

Lol so far I’ve only seen postgame Tony Bennett quotes about their defense.

How about your dogshit offense coach?

 

[BeachBumDeac]

Forbes said that Sallis today is one of the best all around performances he’s ever had by a player

 

[AJMorgan]

In the 30 minutes Reece Beekman was on the floor tonight we were +5. In the 10 minutes he was on the bench we were +14.

I like it when we get the other team's best player in foul trouble, we should do that every game!

 

[rolldeacz]

Our dead ball plays out of timeouts were amazing today. Debbie kept crediting Forbes, but pretty sure Forbes said he lets Shay handle play calls during timeouts, so want to give him some love

Someone should…. Ask?!?!

Happy with the W. Was frustrated with the 1st half. We were playing some seriously stupid ball with a lot of TOs and a lot of bad offensive sets late. And whoever had the idea to post up Boopie on Beekman needs to be shot. But I was happier than usual with our defensive effort, especially on McKneely - credit mostly Hildreth there. And we dominated the boards, as we should have. Nice to see Sallis get out of his 2 game slump, and I was glad Forbes used Reid and Carr more in our half court sets. Agree with roll on our inbounds plays. We need to sweep this season series.

Now let's get at least 3 out of the next 5 - feel a bit nervous @State.

Yes his baseline out of bounds and after timeout play calls are always so so good
