Clemson vs. Wake Forest Senior Day Live Blog

33087_maryland_wake_forest_basketball

The Wake Forest seniors look to go out on top with a win today over Clemson in the Joel. Today is a big game in terms of seeding for the ACC Tournament, confidence for the Deacs and earning a bid/seeding for the NCAA Tournament. Since it is Spring Break and many of the usual suspects won't be able to make the game, this is as close to the action as you are going to get.  Whether you are in an airport waiting to get to Jamaica, or on a cruise sick of your friends already, tune in at 6 to get live updates from press row about your beloved Deacs!

How are they looking during shootaround?

Hey y’all, if you want to do our normal excitable craziness, leave comments here, if you have something you want answered, throw it up on coveritlive. Hopefully we can do both in some kind of rhythm.

Bah da da da da da da da, Go Deacs.

OK. I will do my best to post in both.

by CumberlandDeac on Mar 7, 2010 5:48 PM EST reply actions  

Yeah new thing for us, but I know it’s tough to post/answer comments quickly on coveritlive, so I figured that it’d be better to have a separation and let RA do his thing.

Bah da da da da da da da, Go Deacs.

I hope they press all game.

by CumberlandDeac on Mar 7, 2010 6:16 PM EST reply actions  

Same, just puts us in an advantage after Ish single handedly runs through it

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:17 PM EST up reply actions  

Aminu just give the ball up, you had a guard running up the wing with you

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:19 PM EST reply actions  

settle dow Deacs in general

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:20 PM EST reply actions  

good defense so far, don’t let down with 5 seconds on the shot clock

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:22 PM EST reply actions  

smooth shot by Ish

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:24 PM EST reply actions  

T-Woods steppin up

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:26 PM EST reply actions  

We really picked up the defensive intensity.

by CumberlandDeac on Mar 7, 2010 6:26 PM EST reply actions  

oh come on, don’t call that (i can’t really see well it could have been a foul)

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:29 PM EST reply actions  

Great confidence booster for CJ.

by CumberlandDeac on Mar 7, 2010 6:30 PM EST reply actions  

4 on 2 and had to take a 3 pointer, at least it was Ari taking it, tough miss

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:31 PM EST reply actions  

WakeJake sighting.

Bah da da da da da da da, Go Deacs.

Blogger So Dear

by Martin Rickman on Mar 7, 2010 6:31 PM EST reply actions  

Terrible decision by Ish. You had a 4 on 2 and you pulled up for 3.

by CumberlandDeac on Mar 7, 2010 6:31 PM EST reply actions  

Looks like he is playing better right before the tournaments, which is very good for the deacs

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:32 PM EST reply actions  

good D again, offense still a little shaky

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:35 PM EST reply actions  

Awful offensive possession.

by CumberlandDeac on Mar 7, 2010 6:35 PM EST reply actions  

Same point differential as the under 12, I’m ok with the game so far but the offense has a long way to go with very little time left in the season

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:36 PM EST reply actions  

All we need to do to solve our offensive problems is give Farouq the ball on the baseline within 6 feet from the basket. He is deadly when he gets the ball there.

by CumberlandDeac on Mar 7, 2010 6:37 PM EST reply actions  

True, we gots to have Ari and CJ roaming the perimeter or he will just get molested down low

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:38 PM EST up reply actions  

Definitely agree with you there.

by CumberlandDeac on Mar 7, 2010 6:41 PM EST up reply actions  

There we go, Aminu can outrun any big man in the conference give the ball and sprint big man

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:39 PM EST reply actions  

I’m also really happy with Aminu’s Ft shooting this year, feel like he is the second best on the team, don’t know off the top of my head what the stats say

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:40 PM EST reply actions  

Aminu padding his stats

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:40 PM EST reply actions  

Too many people going for the block, Tony get the rebound

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:41 PM EST reply actions  

sweet move ending the Clemson run by Aminu

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:43 PM EST reply actions  

Great free throws by Chas.

by CumberlandDeac on Mar 7, 2010 6:46 PM EST reply actions  

I love this tempo.

Chas gets the Deacs next bucket too, nice pass into him

Sorry Gary, love you but not a good shot

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:46 PM EST reply actions  

Very poor shot selection.

by CumberlandDeac on Mar 7, 2010 6:47 PM EST up reply actions  

Well Aminu is responding well to the stinkier last game, 10 points on 4-5 FG and 2-2 FTs, 4 boards

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:49 PM EST reply actions  

4-6 actually, per ESPN

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:49 PM EST up reply actions  

damn, first FT miss is the front end

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:51 PM EST reply actions  

We NEED to close out the half.

by CumberlandDeac on Mar 7, 2010 6:53 PM EST reply actions  

CJ, we are such a good long 2 shooting team, I want a 3

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 6:53 PM EST reply actions

good, annoyed that I have to watch this game streaming because of women’s college hockey but what can you do

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:23 PM EST up reply actions

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:23 PM EST reply actions  

wow, they look awesome, i mean talented athletic plays by aminu and ish

by lets-go-dea-cons on Mar 7, 2010 7:24 PM EST reply actions

wow, that 12 point lead quickly disappearing

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:25 PM EST reply actions  

uh oh, little run by clemson

by lets-go-dea-cons on Mar 7, 2010 7:25 PM EST reply actions  

that drifted away quicker than a cigarette buzz

by lets-go-dea-cons on Mar 7, 2010 7:25 PM EST reply actions  

i started watching late, is booker just getting shut down today?

by lets-go-dea-cons on Mar 7, 2010 7:26 PM EST reply actions  

ya he hasn’t really had an impact offensively, a lot of doubling down and trying to strip the ball by the guards, exactly what you’d expect us to to try

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:27 PM EST up reply actions  

wow get the ball in the hoop, too many tip attempts without getting the points

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:28 PM EST reply actions  

the turnover bug is biting again

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:29 PM EST reply actions  

does a win but us into a lock position for a tournament bid, espn today was saying we are a bubble in

by lets-go-dea-cons on Mar 7, 2010 7:32 PM EST reply actions  

win today and win 1 game in the ACC tourny then ya, other than that I don’t have a good idea, I hope so

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:33 PM EST up reply actions  

Nice shot Ish, ending the drought

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:32 PM EST reply actions  

Ari not feeling it tonight

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:33 PM EST reply actions  

stat sheet only says 0-2, thought it was worse than that, I guess he can try a couple more

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:34 PM EST up reply actions  

wake shooting less than 10% from deep tonight

by lets-go-dea-cons on Mar 7, 2010 7:34 PM EST reply actions  

If Ari and CJ can hit a few deep balls then this team is so much harder to beat, otherwise our offense scares me

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:36 PM EST reply actions  

Awww, bye Seniors, you guys are appreciated by all I’m sure, you had your stengths and weaknesses, but as a whole you were passionate about the very same school we are and put it on the line for 4 years

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:37 PM EST reply actions  

i agree, the three is so important in college ball, shitty teams have made great runs because of a few slow white kids with range

by lets-go-dea-cons on Mar 7, 2010 7:37 PM EST reply actions  

sloppy with the dribble, can’t give up a possession that easily

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:39 PM EST reply actions  

sweet pass by Aminu

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:41 PM EST reply actions  

i played music while i was wake, they came in to one of my gigs one night, all of those seniors and some others, i was just joking about how i never really hung out with them

by lets-go-dea-cons on Mar 7, 2010 7:41 PM EST reply actions  

haha alright I got it

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:43 PM EST up reply actions  

a lot of ppl on this blog have talked about hanging out with them, i never did that, i was sort of teasing

by lets-go-dea-cons on Mar 7, 2010 7:43 PM EST up reply actions  

I never hung out with them, just appreciate players the came through the program and acted like they cared about the university. Never really knew the guys personally though.

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:44 PM EST up reply actions

that was a sick move by aminu, thought it was going to fall for sure

by lets-go-dea-cons on Mar 7, 2010 7:51 PM EST reply actions  

I just keep staring at the game clock, 7 points with 6:39 left

wakeforest.scout.com, easily the most active Wake Forest sports message board

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:52 PM EST up reply actions  

overall there is quite a bit of pessimism though, I think WakeJake and Rickman get frustrated sometimes, but so are a lot of the posters about the team

by RPhilpott on Mar 7, 2010 7:53 PM EST up reply actions  

shit, come on Deacs
