NIT 2024: Next in a Long Line of Basketball Disappointments

[liveanddiedeac]

Ready to lose so this team can’t hurt me anymore

So we can move to next Wake team to hurt us?

 

[BarcaDeac]

Man if Pfred hit that 3 to cut it to 4…

 

[dreadthedeacs]

Don’t care anymore, but it’s good to run off an entire shot clock.

reid was not part of the path to win today

This is a tired joke. None of the posters here believe that losing games is a “path” to winning, those posters just held out hope that we had enough talent to win enough important games later in the season to make the tournament such that those earlier losses would be less relevant. It didn’t happen, but there’s no point in shaming those posters for having hope.

Yeah idk why a freshman who is 6-30 from 3 takes that shot at a critical moment in the game

Well, he is our shooter and he was open. If he can't take that shot then he needs to be on the bench. And if he is on the bench, who do you want taking that shot right now?

 

[WakeForest Fan]

four point play was cute

 

[awakegirl]

How is it possible that Clark was unplayable until today?

 

[BigDeacEnergy]

Well, he is our shooter and he was open. If he can't take that shot then he needs to be on the bench. And if he is on the bench, who do you want taking that shot right now?

Meanwhile Carr is still feasting

 

[BigDeacEnergy]

This game was lost when Forbes got cute with the lineups. He is not an in game coach

 

[ConnorEl]

Only able to catch this game from 10 minute mark second half.

Oof…not likely to watch the replay.

 

[myDeaconmyhand]

No matter who does what on our team today, it’s extremely difficult to win against an opponent that shoots 14/26 from 3.

Not shaming just trying to help some of y’all avoid a lot of heartache. This is the motto of a Wake fan, “Expect bad, hope for nothing and let the rare moments of success surprise you.”

Especially when we’re like 3/18

 

[warak]

Reid giving 100%

 

[Turd Ferguson]

No matter who does what on our team today, it’s extremely difficult to win against an opponent that shoots 14/26 from 3.

Was that for today or most games we lost this year?

 

[liveanddiedeac]

Meanwhile Carr is still feasting

Yeah he needs another 20lbs before next season.

 

[KidA23]

Isn’t Georgia also missing like 2 of their top 5-6 players?

 

[SkyDivingDeacon]

This is the most disappointed I’ve been with Forbes. He had a tough year, but we absolutely shit the bed and never fixed the issues that plagued us throughout the year. No good excuse for that.

 

[dreadthedeacs]

That 4pt play was a killer.

 

[awakegirl]

I’m just going to say that our season is on the line with a minute left and Clark is in. I thought he must be literally incapable of dribbling until this game. How are we making personnel decisions?
