    NIT 2024: Next in a Long Line of Basketball Disappointments

    I think this is the most talented and best constructed team we've had in about ten years. But our offensive scheme is shit. All the shots are hard. I've noticed that over the last 12 games we've been hesitant on the 3 pt shot and we've struggled to open leads because our 2 pt game is so...

    Steve Forbes credibility watch

    We're not relevant yet it's clear. I like Forbes but you've got to question his "important game" coaching, and inability to adjust offense and defense in game. I'd like to hope we can pull a miracle out of this dumpster fire, but I don't believe it's possible. A quarterfinal or semi final NIT...

    MBB Game 29 - @ VT - Saturday - 5:30 - CW

    We haven't defended the ball screen or the pick and roll all season. It's been garbage all year since the first game at NC State. Forbes is a decent manager of new pieces, but his ability to adjust in game isn't there. We play the same way on offense All THE TIME no matter how far behind we...

    Hunter Sallis

    Sallis is VERY talented, but he does have inconsistency from one game to another.

    MBB Game 14: Miami Hurricanes @ WF - 2:15 Saturday - CW Network

    I think it's fair to say this is Forbes best team so far. The pieces fit much better than in past years, and Forbes is "trying" to emphasize better defense. Jim Larranaga is a very, very good coach and his team reflects that. They know who they are and play with confidence home and away. We...

    2023-24 Wake Forest Basketball Season - 21-14 (11-9) - KP#29 / NET#43

    One thing I didn't mention about Reid is he's an excellent FT shooter for a big man. Just gotta get him the ball more in the paint and work with him to get to the line more.

    2023-24 Wake Forest Basketball Season - 21-14 (11-9) - KP#29 / NET#43

    Having watched us play several times now there are a couple things that stand out. 1) Boopie Miller is a very good fit for how we like to play 2) Hunter Sallis is a talented scorer BUT his shot selection is often just heat checks and forced shots 3) Andrew Carr is the most important player...

    Steve Forbes credibility watch

    Nobody on the board that I can see going into the year had a realistic view of who we were going to be. I don't think you can start firing coaches yet. The landscape of college bball only favors the big dogs.

    NCSU Game Nov 11 2:00 CW

    Please all of you...just stop it. You're all proving what clueless fans you are. THIS IS WHO WE ARE EVERY GOD DAMN YEAR !. There are NO guarantees of success. When's the last time we had a 4* recruit on offense ? Clawson and Ruggiero along with Sam Hartman and 1 or 2 other players...

    MBB Game 2: @ UGA - 7pm Friday - SEC Network

    ;Our guards shooting 22/64 up until the last 45 seconds. That won't get it done in this offense. Y'all need to understand this is a 5 out perimeter offense with a little isolation to Carr but mostly perimeter jumpers and screens for the dribbler on the perimeter. There's a LOT of standing...

    MBB Game 2: @ UGA - 7pm Friday - SEC Network

    like the other night the Forbes offense struggles when outside shots aren't going. The opponents don't fear our inside game and can clog the paint when our guards drive the lane. Gotta make the jumpers. Sallis isn't scoring so it's 4 or 3 on 5 when Marsh is in the game. Monsanto needs to...

    MBB Game 1: Elon Phoenix at WF - Monday (11/6) 8 pm ACCN+

    A game we were supposed to win. The first half showed that when we don't shoot or defend better teams are gonna whup us. The effort and much tougher defense were great in the second half to avoid an embarrasment. Friedrichson and Marion getting big minutes and contributing is a very positive...

    MBB Game 1: Elon Phoenix at WF - Monday (11/6) 8 pm ACCN+

    With all the hype and hope about most of our transfer players, It's ironic that Cam Hildreth is CLEARLY our best player.

    MBB Game 1: Elon Phoenix at WF - Monday (11/6) 8 pm ACCN+

    This is worse than I could have expected on a terrible opening night. You certainly can't run this offense when NOBODY can shoot. Hopefully this is as bad as it can get this season. Not saying I'll watch again though.

    Sam Hartman

    Have to generally agree with this.

    duke Game Thread (Thursday, 7:30, ESPN)

    I'm so tired of reminding you that this IS who we are. You act like Aaron Rodgers is on the bench and it's Clawson's fault for not playing him. Geez. We are doing the best we can this season with a seriously weak roster on offense. When we have to trick the defense to get better than a 2 yard...

    Florida State Game Time

    What always frustrates me on this board is how so many posters over hype expectations and then act upset and disappointed, ready to bench players and fire coaches when we fail to meet those expectations. The truth is always the same in football and men's basketball. Wake Forest is generally...

    Wake +21 @ Clemson - Deacs blow another shot at a Death Valley win

    We aren't nearly as good as the last several years. If you've been to a game in Death Valley you know by now it's virtually impossible for a team at our level to win, no matter how down Clemson is this year. But lastly and most importantly, we seem to always wear the same SHIT uniforms at...

    Game Thread: ODU 12:00 noon 9/16 ESPN2

    I told you guys last week I thought this would be a tough win. Not because ODU is so great, but because we AREN'T. We've haven't shown the consistency and quality that good teams do this entire season. Griffis' decision making is really suspect. Ruggiero needs to simpify the play calls so...

    Game Thread: ODU 12:00 noon 9/16 ESPN2

    Lots of teams have been struggling this year as favorites. I expect us to win but this is a "bowl game" type moment for ODU. We're not the SF 49ers. There will very likely be some difficulty and certainly not a guaranteed win before the opening whistle. Let's just get the W with no keys injuries.
