Wake Forest Home Game 11-17-19 6:00 Tip

Some humorous reading among the pregame write-ups. Easy to tell those who did their research vs those who didn’t.

From Sports Chat Place:

Dear SCP writer, just because a local annual rivalry game is known as ā€œThe Battle ofā€¦ā€ doesn’t mean the actual game turned out to be one. Yes, it’s called the Battle of Kings Mountain, but the Revolutionary forces routed the Tories! Ditto the Niners over the Cats!

From CBS Sports:

Dear CBS writer, what about the roster makeover for the home team? If that’s what you mean by ā€œbetter game plan,ā€ then I’ll cut you some slack.

And, of course, from the Big O:

clt asks if the o still exists?

Anybody know of a site to stream the game? ESPNU is the one channel I don’t get with my sports package? Haha.

Which service do you have? Spectrum will prorate per day, cheap.

On the West Coast now. I have Exfinity Comcast.

Woohoo!!

Sweet!

Hail Charlotte 49ers!!! :call_me_hand:t4::call_me_hand:t4:

Jahmir Young and the 49ers are CHURCH!

BOOM! There we go!

That D was impressive!

Good win. The isolation offense the last 4 minutes of the game almost blew the game. How many isolations in a row, like 3-4? Sanchez mentioned it in the postgame and that they were wrong for changing and the coaches will learn from it.

The back door assists are a thing of beauty. When the ball is moving on offense, normally a good shot goes up.

Defense is really scrappy out there. We aren’t giving up as many wide open shots previous years teams would.

Vasic… I’m sure he doesn’t feel great about his minutes he had out there so I won’t pile on too much. I’m sure it is hard to enter the game cold and see yourself with an open 3 that you prob would make in practice or being warmed up. I’m guessing the other guys taking his minutes are just a step quicker out there.

Young looks read good on offense. 4-5 from 3. The team was 5-12 from 3. With Wake’s size inside the team could have settled for 3s but didn’t.

Guys that drive to the basket or get a rebound and their are 2-3 opposing players on top of them, PASS it out. I guess they are trying to get fouled and maybe they are coached to do that but you would think making the extra pass will find someone open.

Great win. Wonder why robb is playing so much. Why isn’t bertram playing. Refs tried to give the the game. We need one more player to step up offensively and we could be really good.

Whose minutes does Bertram get? Only so many minutes to go around. I prefer an 8 man rotation. Players may appear equal to us but they are not, the coaches can tell. He may get minutes against other teams where he has a better defensive guarding matching and like you said, help up shoot out of a zone defense.

Back ro back games we’ve actually looked like a basketball team !
Cant wait to make the trip to Boones Thursday !

My guess is defensive play…assume Robb is more scrappy and quick than Bertram…but I would love Dirty Sanchez to find some minutes for Bertram…we need outside shooting threats badly.

But maybe not at the expense of our defense…which is phenominal to this point.
