Cameron Indoor Stadium

Wake tries to complete the regular season sweep of Duke and end their own 3-game losing streak, while Duke seeks to maintain momentum from the greatest win in program history.

Wake hasn’t won in Cameron since 1997.

I think we roll.

We've been much, much better at home than on the road. This is also a revenge game, which I always thinks gives the team that lost the first game the advantage (assuming the teams are relatively equal).

We should win.

 

[rome8180]

This is a make-or-break stretch, in my opinion. Wake, UNC, Miami, UVA. We need to somehow go 2-2.

that means they haven’t won in Cameron since that dude broke the backboard in the pregame shoot around. IYKYK

4-0 - too good to be true
3-1 - ecstatic and would give us a chance at making a run in the NCAAT
2-2 - satisfied
1-3 - disappointed
0-4 - out on Scheyer

So...if we can beat Wake, but we lose to UNC, that would be our worst loss of the year based on the Quad System. Amazing.

 

[rome8180]

Granted, UNC's only at 31 in the NET. If they beat us that might push them into the top 25, which would make it just another Quad 1 loss.

wasn't that in 2000?

I looked it up and it was the 1999 game. And no surprise, it was followed by a big time spanking.

Their entire team sounds made up

….Wake Forest's Rafael Vidaurreta said of Duke.

Robert O'Kelley led the Demon Deacons (13-11, 4-8) with 19 points.

The game was delayed about 30 minutes whe Wake Forest reserve Ed Kargbookorogie, who also plays football, broke one of the glass backboards in warmups.

 

[rome8180]

That's an all-time great name. I'm picturing someone roughly the size of that fat kid who worked us on NC State this year.

okay that sounds right. i remember getting to our seats as they were moving in the portable baskets and being bummed i missed the glass shattering.

 

[aiw]

That was during the period where you weren't allowed to dunk in warmups. People were pissed.

 

[DrKlahn]

It was glorious. I still remember the little popping sound.

Since the game was a blowout, he even got a few minutes at the end, with the crowd egging him on to dunk.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Duke is favored by 8.5.
