Wake hanging tough with UNC.

Down 3 with under 8 to go

I think Wake is gonna be a sneaky team all conference season long. They vastly under performed in OOC play, but certainly have the talent to beat anybody in this league. They need to run it through Moore in the post more than they do currently, as well, IMO.

Issue is that dude is inept at the line based on the free throws I've seen

Not a fan of that shot just down 2.

FSU leading Duke at the half, 49-45. Phil Cofer with a career high 22 points already.

Meh, guess Wake is going to end up with an ugly final record this year. Really think the team had more potential than this, but they aren't getting anything inside, which causes the offense to struggle because nothing is worse in basketball than a one dimensional offense.

Moore needs to do a better job of establishing post position, but the guards also need to do a better job of feeding Moore the ball. Terrence Thompson is also soft as hell, which is disappointing. Losing Mitoglou is bigger than I initially thought. Sarr is going to be a good one, but that day isn't today.

Will give the staff a slight pass (slight because the losses to Liberty and Drake will always be atrocious), because there's no way they could have predicted that Collins (#169 on 247 composite) would be a 2 and done, nor could they have predicted that Mitoglou would have left the team in July for Greece.

If Wake isn't a solid tournament team next year, then fans, including myself, are going to start getting on Manning.

Shoots over 50%. Not ideal, but he isn't typically a disaster at the line.

At least we came away with the victory. I'm sure there will be plenty more times for them to screw up over conference and ACC tournament play.

Angola was POG for FSU with 23 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists. Seminoles are a superb shooting team. They had no answer for MB3 and Carter inside though. Those two accounted for 46 points and 37 rebounds.

Didn't even realize BC and UVA played such a tight game

FSU shot unusually well that particular game. They typically thrive by taking higher percentage shots.

Irish's Colson expected to be out 8 weeks

Huge loss for Notre Dame. Colson is going to miss nearly the entirety of conference play if that timeline is correct.

He's basically lost for the season. Even if he comes back after 8 weeks he will be out of playing shape. He can try and do some work in the pool and weight room, but that isn't like playing two to three games a week. This is a huge loss for the Irish.

Louisville fans still believe that Pitino had no knowledge of whores for players as well. Look how good Louisville would have been with no FBI probe and Bowen having free pussy every week.
