Apparently we shouldn't
Mitchell and Thompson shared PF. Moore, Sarr and SJM played center. Brown and Eggleston at SF. Decent size at all three front court positions. Win the boards. Defend the rim. Win the game. Whether it happens tomorrow is the question.
I don't understand the fascination here for SJM. Look at the stat line, he played 9 minutes and his stat line was 1 rebound and 2 PF, that's it. Okeke played 2 minutes and also had 1 rebound, what are some of you seeing that makes you think SJM is able to play for us and accomplish anything?

The other part of this equation is we have an outstanding 2018 class signed.

The problem isn’t Wellman. It’s his boss.I don't hate Coach Manning like I vehemently hated REDACTED, but the guy clearly is not ready to be a big time coach.
Wellman and Co. put Manning in a tough spot trying to basically build up a program from a scorched Earth (that Wellman and Co. created, mind you...) and Manning isn't shitting all over his players like the last coach did, so credit there for being a decent human being.
HOWEVA! The guy is just simply not a good enough coach right now in his career for this kind of job. We caught lightning in a bottle last season and still only made the "first 4." This isn't good enough.
And I still don't care enough about Wake basketball to really have a meltdown. I'm numb to this utter shit program sucking now. I'm just numb to the losses. It's annoying, it's perturbing, and it's frustrating... but I don't get angry after losses anymore.
Ron Wellman killed my passion for Wake Forest basketball. That's some feat considering I was a die hard fan since 1989 when my family first moved to the area until REDACTED came back for a 4th season. My friends from growing up don't even text to talk shit about Wake bball losses anymore. We are now truly irrelevant.

Analytics versus eye-ball test: KenPom has Wake at #69 this morning. Who ya gonna believe?
Manning never panics. To a fault.I haven't seen a minute of this shit show, but don't need to. The box score says it all. There is simply no excuse. One thing I've heard said is that you have to go big against mid majors. I agree. We are getting pummeled on the boards, play no defense and jack up too many 3s.
This is about to panic mode.
Who is salvageable out of this mess. DM has got to get control of the situation.
The other 14 ACC teams combined record has the same number of losses (4) as Wake Forest.
Unreal.
I have been watching the Deacs since 1984. I have never seen a calendar day when the football season was still going and the basketball season was effectively over.
