[2017-18] FSU / at NC State / at Pitt / Wake / at Miami

[rhfarmer]

I'm curious to see how much love Manning has from Wake boosters. He hasn't done much or really killed the recruiting circuit. Keatts looks far more prepared for Tobacco Road.

Not a single post-game post nearly an hour after it ended. Nobody gives a shit about covering at home against an ACC team?

The effort today was pretty decent. Overall a nice defensive game; aside from a sequence of pick & roll plays in 1st half, Devils did a good job of keeping people out of the paint.

The Duke bigs were awesome.

And just as I say that, our resident Canadian delivers the goods!

 

[torontoduke]

I'm worried about Miami, just like everyone else here. Today was a nice step forward though.

I didn’t watch, but looks like this would have been a good kenpom result until the last three minutes.

By my eyes, you would be correct. They fucked around on both ends in the last 3, but that is kind of understandable

Hard to stay motivated when you are pounding the other team

Still a good Kenpom result. Defense improved.

It was a slight kenpom improvement. He had predicted Duke 85-70 (I think). According to the Yahoo! app, it was 88-61 with 3 min left.

They were working WF just before that 3 min mark. So damn explosive.

Even Jack White played decent minutes.

Yeah, but I think this says as much or more about the awfulness of Wake as the awesomeness of Duke.

How long will Danny Manning keep his job?

 

[rome8180]

If we somehow beat Miami while playing top 50 defense I will be a lot more confident.

Spoiler

I will not be more confident.

That can't have been his prediction. We were #92 on Kenpom after Pitt. Now #83.

 

[rome8180]

I guess it's possible it went up during the week for some other reason.

 

[physicsfactor]

I’m almost certain it was 85-70, but I don’t remember the predicted number of possessions. The game had 78 possessions, and Duke gave up 71. That’s obviously better than if he predicted Duke to give up 70 points in 72 possessions.

 

[physicsfactor]

Nope. You were right, and I was way off. He had Duke 93-77. Wtf was I thinking?

 

[physicsfactor]

But guys, I was almost certain!!!

Doral Moore looked like a player. One of the only guys we've seen this year who didn't look outmatched physically by Bagley or Carter. Can already tell he's going to wreck us next year when we're back to ole Duke small ball.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Duke is a 4.5-point favorite at Miami.

Just give me the chance to blow all my remaining e-cash on this.

Back to severe, retarded overplay
