MBB Game 27: Duke @ LJVM - Saturday 2 pm - ESPN

[WRS]

Saw the instagram page post students camping out early this morning to ensure a great seat in the student section. A win today will launch a huge shift in our basketball culture I believe. The sell out, 10,000 tie dye shirts, students camping out again. Feels good

Certainly feels like an inflection point. Get a big win, fire up the students, make the tournament. Mit knows it and that’s why he shelled out extra for this one game.

Yeah saw an absolute legend with a Red Bull and a Miller Lite in hand. That's the way we do it.

Time to win by 20 today and catch fire en route to a title in Phoenix. I'll see you all there.

Not sure if it's a blessing or a curse, but everyone (including Bilas and J Williams) on GameDay picked the Deacs to win

This terrifies me. It’s like some kind of Wake fan syndrome. Similar to every time an announcer says we’re the best at free throws and then we inevitably brick them.

 

[DeacInVermont]

Bilas said he thinks Wake should win, but that he thought duke will win.

Dafuq is that hedging bullshit.

We should just be grateful Jay Williams didn't slap the floor or some shit.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

Wake wins 83-71 today. Hunter goes for 25. We make 50% from outside. Today is our day

Softer than the powdered sands of a Chicago beach.

Ticket value and demand will rise significantly. Donations will rise. AD can sell sleuth like Duke does at greatly increased value for all games—not just once a year.

Pagentry and excitement will grow. We will have more money. Better players will arrive because of both reasons.

All that and no OCA needed

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Got some putters. Good omen

 

[DCDeac]

60% of their points came from Flip and Mitchell last time around. Just improve on that a bit and let our guards do what they do. Would absolutely love to see Cam back up his last outing with another outstanding defensive effort and smart offensive game.

really need Reid to not be a dumbass today

Hard it to get fouls with that stiff in the post. Put a body on him for a rebound, he flies into the 3rd row. Weak ass chump.

Flopikowski flopped twice as soon as Reid touched him last time.. He regained a spine as soon as Marsh entered the game

No Luckie or Valentine?

I must be dreaming

 

[tbird]

Definitely a day Play by Play listening to Stan rather than ESPN diatribe.

It’s not even flops. Like the first foul on Reid, he slides in the box out like you would expect and flip launches 10’. Not a flop, intentionally throwing your body around to draw a foul, just weak as hell getting bodied by a grown man who knows how to hit the weight room.

Go ahead and start Marsh and get the stupid fouls on the bigs out of the way.
