Click inside for some in-game discussion as the Deacs begin their quest for Detroit. I'm definitely nervous, but excited to finally see Wake take the court!

Wake needs to attack the tin like X did tonight. Force the action. Get CSU in foul trouble.

Word from Miami is there is two full sections of yellow and black. Time for Tie-dyed nation to rise up. You have to riiiiise up.

Chas not starting. To keep him from fouling eaarly?

Trying to do too much. Slow down and be smart.
by askmikeandscott on Mar 20, 2009 10:07 PM EDT reply actions
At 11 minute TV TO. This team has to slow down. They are trying to make up the lead in one possession. CSU is a good defensive team. But, they can’t handle the size . If the first break isn’t there, go to a set offensicve play. When they have done this good looks, points. Otherwise, they are dribbling into turnovers.

Don’t call TO Dino, they aren’t listening. Let the season end right now. The players need to quit trying to be spectacular and just be good. And, when is Aminu going to stop dropping off the player and giving open jump shots??

unbelievable...
It’s bad enough that CBS is showing Ohio State-Siena here in Boston and I’m streaming from cbs.com. Perhaps that’s a blessing. Seeing this fiasco in hi-def would be even worse.
Need to calm down. Cut lead to 6 to 8 points by half. Regroup and then demolish first 5 mins of 2d half.

lazy and careless
like the maryland game, they don’t get that you have to play hard. being skilled doesn’t cut it at this level of play.
i also hate how emotionless this team is. get pissed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crystal Balls
is anyone getting this came on cbs?
Crystal Balls
these schools couldn't have any smaller market
Crystal Balls
Better start turning it around soon.
They’ve already given CSU the knowledge that they can certainly play w/the Deacs. Wake still has a shot if they can cut the lead in half before the half.
Of course I’ll have to miss the end of the game as I have to go the airport to pick up my daughter… damn.
We are but we’re in Cleveland, but it’s not on CBS outlet.

re: streaming commercials... definitely loud
Also streamed the Louisville/Morehead St game earlier and it was the same way.
I’m feeding from the laptop to the HDTV. The wife kept complaining telling me to turn it down.

Johnson hitting that three and the ensuing stop were the biggest possessions of the game IMO. They have a little momentum and there isn’t an insurmountable deficit. They can still do this; just need to play their game—better defense, get the ball INSIDE.

I just tried to post a couple funny things on there.
Don’t know if they liked it. Didn’t even bother going to anything game-related.
I wonder how hard it is to really be objective… doesn’t seem tough on here.

Wow, the meltdown is going on at the Boards. As MR said, Chas can’t switch with Ish on Bullock. Keep CSU in front of you and make them shoot jump shots but with someone in their facenot reacting late (ie Aminu). Offense — show some patience, any patience. Keep tempo frenetic though, but in control.
by askmikeandscott on Mar 20, 2009 10:57 PM EDT reply actions
CSU scored 8 points in the last 8 min. Just relax, keep playing D, and stop getting in a hurry on offense and we’ll be fine. The tighter it gets, the more likely it is they’ll start to tighten up. Just don’t let up. Good D, rebound, pound it inside. We’ll be fine.
As someone who used to be in sports pr just texted me, "momentum stays in the locker room just like the orange peels.

turnovers
can we not steal the ball too?
Crystal Balls
teague and McFouland
need to sit
Crystal Balls
yeah. Teague looks like he doesn’t want to play

i hate this soo much
b/c it is just embarrasing. everyone here in austin knows me as the guy who went to Wake Forest, and i am going to go out tonight and hang my head and listen to “oh, man that sucks blah blah blah”
Crystal Balls
same way for me out here in Vegas. And the fact that i’m probably gonna lose all my pools. Not that I had wake going far, but this will pretty much knock me out
by deacdiggler on Mar 20, 2009 11:12 PM EDT up reply actions
are you willing scores
with your comments?
Crystal Balls
ish!
is turning it over soooooooo much in transition
Crystal Balls
twice ish was fouled
but he needs to realize their guards are sitting on that first pass in transition
Crystal Balls
It is clear that CSU saw that Wake likes to put the ball on the deck when they get a steal. Let the traffic clear and then break. We don’t necessaruly need a highlight reel now, just one bucket a possession.
by askmikeandscott on Mar 20, 2009 11:15 PM EDT reply actions
next mins to the next tv to is uber important. Must cut t0 3-5 before 8 min tv to.

Johnson
behind the back? what is that?
Crystal Balls
another bad call
the baseline ref sucks
Crystal Balls
that was the first foul of the half
Crystal Balls
and now the panic sets in and the bad threes start
by askmikeandscott on Mar 20, 2009 11:29 PM EDT reply actions
why they called a timeout
is beyond me
Crystal Balls
getting beat by a good team is one thing, getting absolutely embarrassed — priceless!!!!
by askmikeandscott on Mar 20, 2009 11:31 PM EDT reply actions
getting hammered your last two games
b/c teams play slouching zones on you
Crystal Balls
Wake has done nothing right in this game. Too many turnovers, no rebounding, can’t shoot, can’t run an offense. Time for a serious gut check by Mr . Wellman. Can Dino coach talent or is it time to find something else. JJ will leave. Teague is not what he thought he was. And you have talent coming in. One more year for Dino and then it’s time to see if it he can coach.
by askmikeandscott on Mar 20, 2009 11:44 PM EDT reply actions
yet you were a top 10 team
means you are being outcoached and probably hustled
Crystal Balls
2nd time that in bounds play worked
on Ish
Crystal Balls
Look CSU is a good team. I’ve seen them for many years. Waters is a good coach. We fell into what they wanted and they hit shots. We are still not good defensively, a Skip legacy. And I knew Skip and loved him dearly, but he didn’t like D.
by askmikeandscott on Mar 20, 2009 11:48 PM EDT reply actions
Completely outcoached.
Bah da da da da da da da, Go Deacs.
