Game Thread [2023-24] Wake Forest

lol you all thought this would be a loss. DTFU

Duke keeps playing right to the spread. They just need to keep being favored.

Weird game. Duke had to beat Wake and TV Teddy that 2nd half. Would have been a comfortable pull away win if that poverty kid hadn’t hit a few bullshit threes.

 

[aiw]

The refs should be suspended for so many missed calls

The Wake games at Cameron under Forbes have all been weird. 2022 we blew a 19 point lead as K didn’t return to the bench in the second half and needed a Mark put back dunk at the horn to win it. Last year won by 2 with a similar gameflow to this one

 

[DurhamSon]

Also lol @ Forbes with zero Q1 wins and on pace to miss the tournament with multiple all-acc players again

 

[Devilsforlife]

He knows how to find gems in the portal but he cannot coach in game. He hasn’t beaten a single NCAAT team on the road his entire tenure

Proctor better DTFU. He's killing us and can't even be on the court at the end. Scheyer trusts dumb foul machine Caleb Foster more.

 

[aiw]

Also, Foster is now a great FT shooter. Was terrible.

 

[aiw]

10 for last 10

Foster would be a 50/40/90 guy for Duke next season if he weren't in the GLeague instead.

Going back through this game. I knew Sallis was good just from looking at the numbers, but damn. He's huge and strong. Lol if Wake gets the best transfer guard in the ACC for the 3rd straight year and still misses the tournament.

It's still wild to me that he could barely get on the floor with Gonzaga and then looks like this when he gets a real opportunity. I was hoping Nebraska would get him simply because he was from Omaha and highly touted as a high school kid. I never believed he would be this good. Probably be a lock to make the tournament if he had come.

Few has a great eye for talent. He also runs good stuff, which I think does his players favors. True, Sallis didn't play much, but he was up to 16 mpg last year and I imagine he would have played a lot more this year.

Speaking of Gonzaga, their list of pros is really impressive. Zero misses. This is the entire list of Gonzaga players in the NBA, and they're all above average rotation players. I would draft Sallis in a heartbeat too. He screams NBA player to me.
