Game Thread [2022-23] Wake Forest

fans not doing a good enough job at distracting the FT shooters

Duke is 22nd in FT% at 76.4%. Duke is 354th in FT% against at 76.9%. It's totally crazy

Would imagine we’re also 354th in late game 1n1 %.

Another one: GT only has one win at Cameron since 1996

 

[DrKlahn]

and for all the crap that happens in Raleigh, NC State has 1 win since 1995 I think.

 

[aiw]

I was at the most recent one, too. Maybe I should stop going.

I guess I've taken home conference wins for granted.

The Dennis Smith game in 2017 with Capel. Cursed season.

BC and Pitt have not won in Cameron since joining the ACC.

@DrKlahn ’s posts made me look up 2020-21 Duke’s schedule to see who they possibly could have played at home in conference.

 

[DrKlahn]

in conference home losses were to UNC, ND and Louisville

 

[DrKlahn]

hilariously, ND/Louisville/Syracuse/Miami all have multiple Cameron wins since joining, unlike the legacy teams

 

[aiw]

FSU has a bunch too

 

[DurhamSon]

We finally ended up on the good side of one of these

 

[Rollins]

we did hit a ton of mid range jump shots

good to know we can expect some mean reversion here.

And our defense was pretty terrible for the last few minutes.

I'm kind of over this team right now. They're just not very much fun. Bunch of decent but not great players to whom I have no emotional connection and who may or may not be around again next year, not very exciting style of play, predictable crunch time collapses in every single game. Might shift to the "watch on replay if we win" model unless we take an unexpected leap over these next three.

This is the best model and one I use for almost every game. The main issue with this model is I am now even worse at handling my frustrations while watching live because I’m so used to only watching already knowing I’ll be happy with the outcome.

 

[physicsfactor]

It would be interesting to see the SQ numbers before Duke went to its prevent (whatever you do, don’t foul) defense.

And in the second half at least it felt like Wake couldn’t buy a bucket on pretty decent long range looks, so this vibes.

I haven't watched a game live in years, with the exception of some of the big ones and the games I attend live. Saw us lose to UNC twice last year and missed watching our win. So that was cool.
