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

I stand by my original comments that Sr year Keller will be a poor man's James Johnson.

 

[Hot Wheels]

If he can shove a Duke player out of the way on a baseline out of bounds play at the end of a game and score, I’ll take it.

That is a spicy take but I see where you’re coming from. Keller has improved immensely from the Bama game to today (#eyetest). It’s like things are starting to click for him.

I don't see it and that's fine. I think Sr year Keller will either be like Dinos but a better shooter or like Carr is now.

 

[wakelaw13]

Yeah I like Keller but think his ceiling is similar to Dallas Walton.

 

[LilburnDeac]

It is definitely something NIL related.

I'm probably going too far getting my hopes up but I just bought tickets for the game at UNC. Hoping I get to see an undefeated ACC leading Deacs squad beat the cheaters in their house.

Keller is going to turn out to be really good but I don't see any part of his game that looks like JJ's...

 

[PhDeac]

Weaver and LD looked down at that dude like they saw a dead body.

I’ll be there. Forbes knows how to play Carolina.

The price of steak at Peter Luger's could go up too. You should still wait to celebrate.

Wake has a bad history of premature extensions. Dino after Cleveland State. Manning after the First Four. Jen Hoover after making the tournament in the COVID year. All fired shortly thereafter. I have confidence in Forbes, but I'd rather wait until he's accomplished something.

Hope Trilly is right, though.

Agree here. We’ve (finally) won three meaningful games in a row we don’t need to run out and get clowned by Jimmy Sexton (or whoever) the second he calls. Wake has built a Mount Rushmore of needless machine gun extensions

I think they did…!

it's kinda weird that nobody asked about jao and damari in the post-game

didn't notice it 'til y'all brought it up

New rankings -

NET up 56 to 47
Kenpom 43 to 42

Notably:
Miami goes from 40 to 41
Georgia wins on the road at Missouri is up from 96 to 83 - approaching a Q1 loss for us
BC wins to move from 82 to 74 - becomes Q1 win
LSU gets a 15 pt road win at TAMU to move from 131 to 96 - which I believe clears us of a Q3 loss at the moment

Several other bubble teams took big losses and might prove to be pretenders - Texas, Ole Miss, James Madison

I know I'm probably behind on this but what does Jao bring to the team?

At least another ball handler point guard who could also shoot decently. I would expect some rust at first.

 

[IamThunderbolt]

What’s his shot like? Always kind of saw him as a stronger, CMM type guy.

 

[Buttermaker]

Right, not to mention that a contract extension would be Currie’s news, not Mit’s, even if Mit helped fund it.

Who knows in this era of college sports.
