Hmm?

I don't care to look at the numbers, but I'd wager that [Redacted] has won more sub-5 point games than he has lost at Wake Forest.

You're right. I haven't been following Wake bb in a while. Early in the season, we would beat the division 2 schools by 5 points or so. Since January 7th, with the exception of the BC game, we have lost by 18 points or more except for the Maryland and Clemson games.

Frequently the margins are big, but not always. We have actually had quite a few single digit wins this season: Yale, High Point, Nebraska, Virginia Tech, Georgia Southern, and Texas Tech. Had a few close losses as well: Wofford, Dayton, Richmond, and Maryland.

ETA: and, yes, in this day and age of WFU basketball, I consider single digits to be close.

Record in games within 5 points (including 5)

2012: 4-2 (Wins: Nebraska, Virginia Tech, Yale, High Point; Losses: Wofford, Dayton)

2011: 3-2 (Wins: Iowa, UNCG, UVA; Losses: Presbyterian (lol), Miami)

So of the 19 wins [Redacted] has at Wake, 7 have been by 5 points or less. Of the 38 losses, only 4 have been within 5 points, and only 8 have been in single-digits. Which leaves.....

[Redacted] has coached 57 games at Wake and in 30 of them we have lost by double-digits

Games decided by 5 points or less: 7-4 (3-2 in 2011, 4-2 in 2012)
Games decided by single digits: 12-8 (4-4 in 2011, 8-4 in 2012)
Games decided by double digits: 7-30 (4-20 in 2011, 3-10 in 2012)

So breaking it down even further:

7-4 in games decided by 5 points or less
5-4 in games decided by 6-9 points
3-10 in games decided by 10-14 points
3-6 in games decided by 15-19 points
1-14 in games decided by 20+ points (Marist is the only win by 20 we have)

This is just awful.

That made me laugh. Or was it cry? No, it was laugh. A gallows laugh.
 
Probably will keep it real close and lose at the end, just to force me to watch the whole game and miss most of UFC Fight Night.

For those who want to really dig into this:

Although I will add that if Bzz's fantastic offense keeps our 7 footers at the 3 point line setting screens all night I'm gonna friggen scream.
 
In the 9 years prior to [Redacted] becoming head coach Wake lost by 20+ points 17 times. In a 57 games, [Redacted] has lost by 20+ points 14 times.
 
Seriously, if the Deacs drop the game tonight, Buzz is out.
