NIT 2024: Next in a Long Line of Basketball Disappointments

[daaberry]

remember the louisville game when monsanto came back and it was a full squad and we were all like "hell yeah, it's on now!"

What a great day. Funny that Wake lit it up for 18 threes that day and a decent chance they give up that many today to a team that doesn’t shoot well.

Are the Pauls being held against their will? This is God-awful.

 

[awakegirl]

We can’t even rebound 😂

And to think I was shamed for getting the tiniest modicum of pleasure out of watching State win last night while having to endure this misery.

No shaming from me, I’m all in on State. I mean sure, it would awesome if it was us doing something like that, but it will never happen, so might as well enjoy watching another team do it. At least I was old enough to remember 84, that’s as good a run I guess I’ll ever see Wake basketball make.

 

[awakegirl]

Like why didn’t Carr go back up with that after the rebound??

 

[Dukehater]

We look like a church league team against a prison league team

Yes watching this beat down is tolerable because State is in the Sweet 16. That totally makes sense

No but I’d likely be suicidal if I didn’t try to enjoy some other teams success.

 

[IAppreciateIt]

I don't think today is a coaching problem. Strictly personnel (which in turn can be blamed on coaching I guess). But Sallis covers up a lot of holes. I shudder to think of where we'd be if we didn't land him. When I saw Sallis was out, I knew it would be a shit show and so did anybody who watches this team.

yeah, i agree. placed my biggest wager of the year against the deacs when the sallis news leaked. especially without sallis, this team is both missing talent, depth and cohesiveness.

but not helping that uga is shooting out of their minds.

 

[tbird]

If this margin holds against UGA the psychological effect of this humiliation will have a long lasting effect and could weigh on whether some of these players return next year.

Carr is soft and weak. He needs a lot of time in the weight room

 

[inspectah_]

I guess this is a preview of coming attractions since there's about a 99.99 percent chance Sallis doesn't come back.

 

[warak]

This is a disaster…now Hulu has a network error

 

[336Deac]

thank god the canes play in 45 minutes

 

[kernersvillan]

At least we can look forward to Duke getting upset

 

[DeaconSig]

This team is a joy to watch.

 

[Liverpool92]

He’s already had a full offseason in the weight room…

 

[liveanddiedeac]

But we still have a path right?

 

[awakegirl]

Yeah. I wonder if he even comes back after this.

 

[awakegirl]

We make a little run and Clark is back in??
