MBB Game 23: NC State @ LJVM -- Saturday 4 pm - ACCN

Is there a better all around player in the league?

At first I was like surely there is. But there may not be.

 

[morrison2951]

Yep, we needed both a win and to be battle-tested in preparation for Durham, and we got both

Yo duke, be afraid.... be very afraid!

Gonna get drunk tonight…cheers to Sallis on every fucking drink!

Already started on you

Holy shit that was stressful. More stressful than normal.

We now have 2 different networks trying to give Wake a 5th conference loss. Funny when that day actually never comes.

I hate Horne, but man did he play out of his mind tonight. That was a GGTT game, indeed. Beat Duke and let’s go to the tourney.

How much did we drop in Kenpom?

Big Florida and Rutgers wins makes this a good day all around.

Hopefully not

Sallis 33 career high!

 

[Wakeforest22890]

Yeah joking aside, we probably drop slightly in the adjusted EM because we were 8 and 9 point favorites KP/Torvik but the 16th win plus another Q2 win is way more important IMO

Been impressed with Marsh's minutes. Been a Godsend having him to rest Reid. He seems to be playing with better intensity and judgement.

He played well and was able to body up on their big.

They factor in so many random things that I’m surprised there isn’t a “rivalry game” adjustment.

 

[1976Deac]

This was an even better State team than when we were in Raleigh.

Agreed. I’m like his number one hater but he’s really improved and is working well as a Reid backup.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

We've all seen this type of game before and more times than not it's a Wake loss. Come out slow, get punched in the mouth a couple times in the first half, down at the half. But we came back, took the lead and even when we didn't keep stretching it out, maintained jabs and ultimately got the win in the last minute. This team is different and I suspect it's because this team is good to pretty to even very good.

We've got 8 games left - four at home and four on the road. Let's get the double bye, let's lock up a tournament spot, and let's make some fucking noise in the postseason.
