Hey, WF is dancing; unfortunately, it's not the Big Dance; instead the dance looks something like this: Oof.... The NIT 'selection committee' gerrymandered the bracket so that the Deacs and Apps (just 86 miles apart) face-off in the NIT Opening Round. Here's a quick look at the Apps...

After a deflating loss to GT, our Deacs play the regular season finale on Saturday against Clemson. Guessing March 8 is the latest that WF Men's basketball has ever played its first game against a conference opponent. Maybe, WF can break that record next season when the ACC expands to a...

Man, did the perspective on the WF MBB basketball season shift over the week. WF basketball and its fans were feeling themselves after beating Duke on February 24. Then, after two solid first halves, the Deacs lost the two 2nd halves at ND and at VT by a collective score of 82-50.... Now...

This Saturday, the Deacs play their last roadie (yay!!!) of the season at Cassell Coliseum; even with all of WF's road struggles, does seem like the season flew by. Deacs Pound VT To Start the ACC Season WF opened its 2023-24 ACC regular season with a big 86-63 win over the Hokies and the...

Fresh off a nice little win over Duke, our Deacs head to northern Indiana (nothing says 'Atlantic Coast' like northern Indiana) for a classic trap game. ND 10-17 (5-11) #136. Heading into this season, the Irish looked to have a historically awful ACC roster. ND had lost over 95% of its...

Kind of a big game coming up against Duke this weekend. Might want to watch and/or attend. This is game #2 against the Devils (WF lost 77-69 at Cameron on February 12; as an FYI, the FT disparity in that game was 25-13 in Dook's favor). Here is KP's take on WF and Duke looking at ACC games...

Pitt has won 5 straight. Since February 1, Panthers are the #19 team in the country according to Torvik. Pitt is looking at this game as a chance for a Q1 win. Huge game for both teams. Blake Hinson scored 41 on Saturday night against L’ville. Both Torvik and KP have WF winning 75-69. Hope so.

Our Deacs travel (yikes) to Atlanta tomorrow to face former WF 'natual rival' GT in cozy McCamish Pavillion. Here's the rundown on the 'high variance' Yellow Jackets. Georgia Tech 10-12 (3-8) #126: The Jackets seem like the perfect opponent for WF to solve its road woes. GT is only 2-4 at...

Hard to get worked-up about writing up a game preview as the WF season deflates, but here's an unispired take on the Orange: Syracuse 14-7 (5-5) #81: Cuse started the season slowly getting blitzed in the Maui Jim Classic by #6 TN (by 17) and #19 Gonzaga (by 19). At the point, Cuse fell to...

Fresh-off the nine-day CBB All-Star Break, the Deacs head to Western PA to face the Panthers. Here is the skinny on Pitt: 2024 Season: 12-8 (3-6) #71. Pitt started this season out #62 (WF was #73), and the Panthers started the season blowing out 4 horrid teams to jump to #40. Pitt soon...
