MBB Game 22: WF Heads North To the Dome: Saturday 8 pm ACCN

[PhDeac]

Complaining about a walk-on getting his at the buzzer is weak, y'all.

 

[Deaconblue]

Throwing the ball away is always gonna kill you.

 

[Dali Llama]

55 second half points for those fuckers, and they coasted the last 8 minutes.

Fifty. Five. Points.

Matches what Kansas State scored in the 2nd half of the play-in game.

 

[morrison2951]

Still.... in.... shock.....

 

[PhDeac]

Nah, Hartman knows how to win there. Wolford too.

Barely. That place is just not good for Wake sports.

 

[sailordeac]

assholes to the end

I hope we remember this behavior

 

[awakegirl]

Yea. Someone with a nut sack. Jake backing out deserves major shit.

Jake was awful but Alondes was a NMFF tonight. That’s prob worse.

Yea. Someone with a nut sack. Jake backing out deserves major shit.

I only watched the last 10 minutes, but yes. Every time Jake got the ball at the foul line he immediately backed out. That is not the way the plan is supposed to work.

Seriously. You guys really care about some walk-ons just playing the last minute out? Who cares.

 

[Strickland33]

I mean, it's tough. Alondes and Jake are our guys, for better or worse. They're our 1 and 2 options, and we just didn't get anything from them. I don't know what you expect Forbes to do.

Daivien really stepped up to the plate and Monsanto was cooking, but it's hard to get anything done when we're getting nothing from our stars, literally handing them the ball on every possession while they're shooting 72% from the field, and not even attempting to play any defense.

If Daivien and Monsanto didn't make shots, then we would have lost that game by 40.

 

[Deaconblue]

Alondes got hit in the mouth. Wake did not respond well.

 

[morrison2951]

Jake and Man Man were MIA tonight.

It’s like the worst default Wake fan rallying cry outside of “safety school.” Other team isn’t “classy” enough.

 

[warak]

Jake and Man Man were MIA tonight.

Yeah, the zone really shut them down. Williams just didn’t look like the aggressive Manman tonight. As forJake, hard to get buckets inside against the zone.

 

[PhDeac]

I only watched the last 10 minutes, but yes. Every time Jake got the ball at the foul line he immediately backed out. That is not the way the plan is supposed to work.

It seems like LaRavia was supposed to find an open shooter to work the ball around to find an open shot, back someone down like he did against UNC, or turn and shoot. He rarely did any of those. Most likely the pass got tipped, LaRavia passed it back, or he backed it out.

Part of the problem was that Forbes never got out of it. There was no backup plan at all. We approached the zone the same way every possession.

 

[morrison2951]

Bizarro world loss.

Speechless....

maybe I just wish Wake would do it. Like if Hartman had been allowed to get another TD to tie a record.

 

[Strickland33]

Turnover margin was nuts: 17 for Wake, 5 for Syracuse.

Weirdly, Jake actually had the best A:TO on the team at 5:1, but Alondes posted a 4:6, Monsanto a 0:3, and Mucius a 0:2. Mucius is particularly pathetic, imo, because he also shot 2/8 (all 3FGs) and only grabbed 3 boards.

Nothing from Sy (more fouls and turnovers than shot attempts or rebounds) again

Just one you want to forget, but definitely one that exposes a lot of what our offense has covered for over the last few

 

[sailordeac]

turnovers and lack of defense

 

[thatguy2016]

Of course we gave up 94 fucking points (granted some off of turnovers) but our offensive execution doesn’t seem the primary reason we lost.
