North Carolina Tar Heels at Wake Forest Demon Deacons, Jan 31, 2012 9:00 PM EST


In honor of my moonlighting gig at the StarNews, this game is dedicated to UNC (and Hoggard product) freshman Stilman White, who has been thrust into the backup PG role after Dexter Strickland's injury.

UNC (18-3, 5-1, KenPom 8) @ Wake Forest (11-10, 2-5, KenPom 206). ESPNU. 9PM.

You son of a so and so...

You got my hopes up there (not that I’m ever glad about an injury).

I may or may not be able to be there in person.

I suddenly feel a bit like my head is in a vice. Hooray.

I'll be watching from home, everybody.

Feeling better but still shaky. Really hoping the Tie-Dye Nation can help pick up my slack.

ESPN has Dino doing the pregame commentary

Nice. Appreciate them bringing up that he was 2-2 against UNC.

He went to Duke, which makes him a Weenie.

Yes, but he is an excellent analyst.

Possibly the best college bball analyst working (although Raftery’s great too).

Reminds me of one of my favorite sports stories.

British soccer player was knocked out and woke up in the hospital. When informed that the player had no idea who he was, his manager responded: “Brilliant. Tell him he’s Pele.”

Contributing Writer for Blogger So Dear, SBN's Wake Forest Blog

by SamuraiFoochs on Jan 31, 2012 9:39 PM EST reply actions  

I disagree.

Our biggest problem is that we don’t outscore our opponents with enough consistency.

Chase is our best PG.

Seriously.

Poor Chase.

He gets SO MANY good looks, and we know he can shoot, he just can’t seem to find it.

Contributing Writer for Blogger So Dear, SBN's Wake Forest Blog

Still productive though.

Put the ball in his hands all second half. Why the hell not at this point?

by quzybuk on Jan 31, 2012 9:52 PM EST up reply actions  

What we need

I still think that the ting we are missing, and have been missing, is a real power forward. When is the last time we had a quality PF? Part of our PG problem is they can never just dump it inside to an inside presence. They have to run around and try to find a cutter.

by WFU on Jan 31, 2012 10:05 PM EST reply actions  

I stand by my earlier concept.

I’d gladly trade any and all PFs or PGs for more consistently outscoring the other team.

Seriously though, we’re getting molested because we can’t hit a shot and CJ/McKie are getting swallowed by bigger defenders. A PF or PG wouldn’t change that.

by quzybuk on Jan 31, 2012 10:07 PM EST up reply actions  

Nikita...

… stop doing that.

Tony, stop doing THAT.

Literally if we were shooting even 40%, we would be winning.

Slipping away...

Last year’s Ohio State team was a legitimately great team. They played their worst game of the season and barely lost to one of the four most talented teams in the countries. You’re wrong Jay.

And your suit is ugly.

by quzybuk on Jan 31, 2012 10:38 PM EST reply actions  

It might also be a good time to point out...

… that Ty chose us over Carolina. I think the last recruit to do so in a direct head-to-head recruiting battle.

I want to love this team.

But they are making it literally impossible.

Contributing Writer for Blogger So Dear, SBN's Wake Forest Blog

by SamuraiFoochs on Jan 31, 2012 10:43 PM EST reply actions  

They are fighting.

But it’s pretty painfully apparent that roster + scheme as currently constructed just isn’t good enough. Can’t do anything about roster at this point, so we need to be tweaking scheme.

by quzybuk on Jan 31, 2012 10:45 PM EST up reply actions  

McKie can't consistently shoulder an offense.

And Harris is susceptible to big defenders and off shooting nights.

Chennault’s losing his cool. Might be time to get him out of there.

Yeaaah...

We can still hit the 20 point shot for the win?
