I’m still hopeful that Ituka develops into being able to give us 8-10 solid minutes.
I hope he can do that in games where it's reasonable. We can't have Appleby going 34+ every night for a long season, he'll be worn out, but I also don't think playing Ituka in games like last night is realistic yet when considering ability and just rotations. If Damari continues to be very playable, that leaves a lot more of Cam at the 2 and Daivien at the 1 when Ty is on the bench instead of Ituka, Daivien, and Cam playing 1-3.I’m still hopeful that Ituka develops into being able to give us 8-10 solid minutes.
I never got the impression that Zay's decision had anything to do with money. For one thing, he was never one of the guys that tried to earn actual NlL money like Damari tried with Bojangles or Daivien did with the Dash. The understanding I got from reporting on 247 and talking to people was he wasn't the biggest fan of the school aspect (not in a bad way he's clearly a smart kid) and he was ready to focus on basketball.Having Mucius this season would be huge. That's one area where not having NIL in place hurt.
Mucius is on the end of the bench for the Capital City Go-Go, the Wizards G-League team.
Except it looked like we never played basketball before.I’m not sure Rutgers is a head-scratching loss. That’s a pretty good team on the road. A loss is a loss whether it’s by 1 or by 101. Same with a win.
How can NC State’s results thus far give a 75% chance of dancing? No Q1 wins and 0-2 in league play.Torvik has WF at 2.7% to win the ACC and 11.4% to get an NCAA tournament bid. Those odds are about double what they were before the Duke win (and about where they were before we lost to Clemson and Rutgers). His current view of the ACC:
National Rank Team Win ACC NCAA Bid 12Duke 22.1% 99.7% 13Virginia Tech 22.3% 99.6% 23Virginia 17.2% 99.5% 31North Carolina 11.4% 92.0% 32North Carolina St. 10.6% 75.7% 59Miami FL 6.0% 79.0% 68Pittsburgh 3.5% 20.3% 72Wake Forest 2.7% 11.4% 75Clemson 2.6% 7.1% 94Georgia Tech 1.0% 1.0% 114Notre Dame 0.3% 0.3% 128Syracuse 0.3% 0.3% 187Florida St. 0.1% 0.1% 221Boston College 0.0% 0.0% 305Louisville 0.0% 0.0%
I’ve watched State play a lot this season. Wake is the much better team, IMHO. If State has a high probability of making the tourney, I hope that’s a sign that people are sleeping on Wake. Hopefully we don’t give them many reasons to.The big thing is Torvik has State at 32 and assumes they’ll play like it the rest of the year. Ditto Wake being expected to play like #72.
