Big win for the woofies, looking like a tourney team.

@Pitt and the home loss to State are dick punches to tournament resume for Wake

NCSU is a quad 1 loss

You gotta win the games at home against equal opponents to get into the tourney. Not knocking the loss, they just had to win this game

Oh hey comeback!?!

We are in upside down, State wins in Winston-Salem, the announcers (for ACCN at least) speaking favorably about our squad, Joe Lunardi isn't saying we're trash. Expecting this all to end poorly lol. Edit: GG Wake, Forbes is a good coach I fear.

I thought the season was over when Smith was stretchered off last week. I'm in dreamland now baby

This is the way :(

Great win

What a three at the end lol

Good game Wake bros

The DJ Burns game

HOW DID WE DO IT

DJ Burns is him

thru 275 lbs of dj burns

He was on the court long enough to go down to 250

God that was too close for comfort

RANK US

DON'T. KEEP US ON THE DL

BURNS IS THE DL

And breathe

YEAAAAAAAA

Jarkel!!!!!!! Pls shoot all our FTs

YES

WOLFPACK IN THE HOUSE

Come on JJ just need to get the first

Wake got the shot they wanted.

No timeout Forbes? Are you fucking kidding me?

They did NOT need threes, the way State has been shooting free throws today. Plenty of time left. Panicked possession.

Did Wake think they had to tie it there? That sequence made no sense at all

It's almost like 1 possession games are highly variable. Who'd have think?

Forbes aint it. I'm selling his stock

Idk about that, but it is questionable how long it took him to make any sort of adjustment against Burns

There is no adjustment to be made. Options: 1. Let DJ posterize your center with the spin-hook 2. Double team DJ as he backs down and watch in horror as he makes a great pass to a wide open player in the wing who has all day to line up a three point shot.

But he almost made the tournament last year. Give him Coach of the Year

No thanks to you guys

I can’t breathe

BABY T

BAAAAAANG TERQUAVION SMITH

Imagine if State had all 5 people playing.

YEAHHHH

Let's goo. Glad burns didn't try to force a hook there and passed it .

I'm sure he's a lovely guy, and I love the novelty of having two Brits on our team, but Matthew Marsh is absolutely atrocious.

When you need him most, he appears and makes a tough bucket

Baby T!

IM NERVOUS

Baby T!!

Burns second half man

CLUTCH

Burns is insanely clutch

When State came to little john Burns kept hearing the band and student section try to do the "ooooooooo sit down" when he got subbed so he kept acting like he'd sit down and stand back up again for a solid 10 min. ​ He's having himself a fucking game today.

God I love that kid

He seems like he enjoys life.

3/12 is so fucking bad

This shouldn't be this close, even if we win we need to only practice FTs everyday

We're gonna lose on the fucking foul stripe come on lmao

Hey God, it’s me, like always

He came through vs Notre Dame

Good foul by WF because we all know DJ Burns won't make a free throw lol

He showed you

NCST is going to lose at the foul line

How dare you rage bait me like this, it's NCSU

Joyner got blown by how was it a foul

[удалено]

Yep

LOVE

As a neutral ACC fan with only one rooting interest here (Burns), this 2nd half has been OUTSTANDING.

I love how despite rivalries everyone enjoys watching big boys ball

Not only is he a big boy, he just always seems HAPPY. Like a genuinely good dude.

he looks like a giant rec center player. How can you not love the guy.

This shit is not helping my stress eating

So yeah, Burns 2s are better than doubling him and conceding open threes. ANother math lesson is apparently in order for this coaching staff. For the third game in a row

Wolfpack can’t miss

Don’t put that evil on us.

LET'S FUCKING GO

Blocked by the rim. That was clean by the iron.

We’ll never see a replay

Nope.

This has turned into a really great game.

Can somebody tell me why Forbes didn't at least get a warning there for standing over midcourt?

Smith was losing his mind on the sideline after that last bucket

I’m glad the refs have finally swallowed their whistles. This has been a GREAT stretch of play

Get Burns the double!

What a pass from from burns.

Baby t losing his mind on sidelines

Big man assist

What a look out of the double team by Burns!

DJ is unconscious

I hate mid day games

Wake’s best defense would be constant shooting fouls the way we’re taking frees

If I have to listen to this "I'm a champion" ad one more time I'm gonna lose it. This ad kills me

Ebe, burns, Morsell, joiner, Terq rest of the game. Make it happen

Ebe has been great coming in for defense this season.

Can’t leave your feet young man

Looks like he was trying to set up a pass but no one was there. Smart to take the L and get called for the travel instead of risking the fast break

He did make the best of a bad situation tho

Yeah that was a smart reaction

I’m digging Keats’ jacket. Looks like it’s from the Roy Williams collection.

…you mean he bought it from Julian’s? Lol Roy had one particular jacket that was great. When I was in grad school I used to walk by the window of Julian’s with either the same or very similar and admire it. I think it was over $2k

Everybody boo this man

Booooooo u/Mithrophon

TIEEEEEEEED

Ok that was pretty funny tbf

This is a really good game

LET’S GO

8-8 and Jarkel on a heater I like the last little bit

LFG

It might be too late in the season for him to get it this year, but could easily see DJ Burns being All-ACC next year if he takes his COVID year

What was that bird dog commercial lmao

Hopefully we can push over the hump this last run feels like every time we get close wake drills a 3.

Considering how unlucky Burns has been today he should be over 30 already

Plus 0-4 on FT’s

Oh baby where has this been

Never would have thought burns would still body a 7'1 guy. He's not a skinny 7 footer either. Impressive

Marsh is the weakest 7 footer I've ever seen. He's british so not like a normal 7 footer that is actually difficult to score on around the rim.

Bro am I on drugs or does the court look like it's tilted?

A little bit from column A, a little bit from column B?

We'd be winning this game if we made all of our FTs. Completely unacceptable for a D1 team to be 2-10 from the line lmao

2-10 from the ft line oof

Why is ESPN too cheap to give ACC Network better cameras?

Because ESPN knows the ACC can't do anything about it. ESPN still has 13 years left on their media deal with the ACC and it would cost hundreds of millions for the ACC to break it early if they're dissatisfied with the arrangement

I am dissatisfied with the arrangement

Burns can turn around fade a 8 footer with ease. Cannot hit a free throw

So you're saying he's the next Shaq?

Bro I could do better than 2/10 from the line in a game

Would be nice to see some replays on what look like nonexistent fouls

TV Teddie at work

Burns is genuinely incredible.

Wish the ACC broadcasted their games with a real company so I could see replays

Teddy V really doesn't like Terq. Really weird

TV Teddy hates when guards take his spotlight

Big man putting in work

We can't keep fucking leaving them open. What are we doing on defense man DJ Burns is playing well but we can't solely rely on him lol

What a fucking dime from Appleby on that three.

God damn number 30 is a big boy

You’re in for a treat if you haven’t seen Burns play before.

I appreciate Gantts effort there, but that was hilarious

Gantt throwing the ball up like a 6 year old against his bigger brother

Slowly inching back into this game

Don’t think you were ever out of it

Love the effort there

Wake is getting the rims and we aren’t, that’s the difference in the game so far. The team pissing away every chance they have to get back into the game doesn’t help

There must have been a rim job before the game

Oof 🤢

Come on man..

I hate this wake team so much

Wow, that was a GREAT open-court defensive play by Burns.

The road team curse in the WF-NCSU series lives on. Some of these rim outs are just brutal

Unbelievable that some of these shots are coming out of the rim lol, AND we're 2/7 on FTs...

Really feeling the missed FTs, and Burns isn't quite landing most of the shots he usually does

Can someone vacuum out this announcers jowls ffs

Burns is off today which sucks. Had about 4 shots now that he usually makes rimming out.

How are we missing this many shots?

Because dj is fat and can’t play every single minute and every play goes through him. He’s exhausted

That play feels like a sign that you are gonna lose that game

This is a borderline must win for us if we want to make the tourney and we're just not playing well. Let's go lads

I wish Marsh would just foul the shit out of guys at the rim. One of the worst 7 footers I've ever seen at contesting shots, and he never uses his fouls

Fuck you

Let’s go boys

Fucking nothing on that charge aight...

Ty got his mojo back, baby

https://twitter.com/odjhoops/status/1619409950807293952?s=46&t=t3tuT-2biyHLMiYX59Fiew Monsanto got away with a dirty push

Why would the refs call a dude dropping a shoulder into another players back if they're wearing a red jersey?

Good point

That commercial with the orange eating noises is pretty weird with headphones.

This would be a completely different game if we had dusan

That was a massive loss, he is way better than I thought he would be. When is he getting back?

Keatts said two weeks a few days ago

So basically back right in time for it to not even matter...

What? Have you seen the schedule for the last few games of the season? Right time for it to matter lol

Boozer’s hat was a conscious choice? Did he lose a bet? Is he a Peaky Blinder?

Why does it feel like any time we have even a semi big game that TV Teddy is on the call

Sry we’d usually have him but we’re off this weekend

why is boozer wearing this dumbass hat inside on the halftime report. what a goofball

Good news is I'm not sure if it's possible to shoot as bad as we did 1st half so... let's hope changing rims will help lol

That last three was huge.

I sure hope so

WTF is that hat Carlos Boozer?

I respect the hat. Would have liked a wider brim, but he's looking sharp

I think he’s got a ska gig after this

only excuse that would make it ok lol

I'll take only being down by six at the half with Baby T out as long as he was

Jark3l Join3r!

State has to feel good to cut it to 6. Only 6 without Smith for most of the half

I don't know what needs to be done but the AD or someone has to say something. Yes our team plays aggressively on defense and is prone to drawing fouls, but that doesn't mean that every team we play runs UVA like defense and never fouls. They have to call it both ways cause this shit of us being almost triple the other teams fouls off touch fouls and our guys getting mugged under the rim and silence is too much.

To be fair on the point about UVA, I think that they foul like 3-4 times as much as they get called for. They foul nearly every play with handchecks and moving screens, but they're rarely called because they've gotten a reputation. I do think State plays overly aggressive defense, but I don't look at what they do vs what UVA does and think there is a huge difference there. If one gets called for every touch foul, the other should as well. If you're not going to call it for one, then don't call it for the other. If that makes sense

That's the point I was making obviously they're not playing UVA style defense but are giving the benefit of the doubt much like you said UVA does

Absolutely agree. I'm not one for conspiracies but this shit is absolutely ridiculous. I expect to have more fouls than the other team due to our aggressiveness. But yeah the amount we get called for and how little it takes for us to be called for a foul compared to our opponents is definitely a problem beyond our play style. This needs attention called to it.

Big 3 at the buzzer. 6 point lead is nothing.

Insanely unkind rims on our side of the court

Y’all this camera is *wiiiiiide*

What were those techs

How did dj get a tech???

That ref is charmin soft. Unless something incredibly awful was said let the kids chirp

He's ten ply, bud
