Tacy was an excellent coach. Bones was my favorite; but Tacy was good.
05-06? We had zero PG's on that team. The dream was Justin could handle it but he couldn't and that was the end to that season. This team may have the best group of PG's I can remember. And by best I mean, as a group not just one guy that's a star.
Tacy was not perfect, but the guy won some really big games when it counted. His teams usually left it all on the court, just look at the semi-final losses to UVA (Sampson) and UNC (Jordon) in the ACCT. Retiring Ray Meyer and then losing to Phi Slamma Jamma by 6 (IIRC) in the final 8. Tacy couldn't get over the hump in the ACCT and win the thing, but then again he got most of his teams to Saturday.

Our 3 top players underperformed and we still won by double-digits. Our bench almost scored as many as our starters...which would be bad, except we won!
Madison Jones is increasingly impressive at PG.
Thomas, McKie, and CMM will have to kick it into a higher gear tomorrow. Washington is more than serviceable as Devin's back-up.
How many pre-Bz Wake teams wouldn't be 5-1 against this schedule? One or two could be 6-0.
Not sure that CMM had a bad game. The bench extended the lead while he was out and he just facilitated the rest. He only took 4 shots, I'd say if he wanted/needed to take 15 he would have.

Good lord, the '76-'77 team had a PG who ended his career as a two time 1st team ACC selection and another who had a ten year NBA career as a PG.05-06? We had zero PG's on that team.
