It's long past time to bring this back to the court, let's do it with a small update:
Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
I expect a blowout.
I also expect a muted game cause of Dakich Jr. on the color

Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
I posted the same yesterday in the Wooden Classic thread. Line opened at an attractive cats -10.5 and I jumped on it. It’s already at -12. Cats roll in this third tier tourney with fifth string announcers. Just hate ESPIN
Waiting at the Rose Bowl patiently for the cats to arrive

I expect 14 made 3's from Wake Forest.
Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
More Josh at PF. Maybe more Koloko.
Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
That sucks, but I hope it means Koloko gets a shot.

Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
If anything (beyond more minutes for Lee) I’d assume the former. We could use the practice playing small more than we could use burn for Koloko (sorry big guy). Root for a blowout and maybe we get both.SunnyAZ wrote:More Josh at PF. Maybe more Koloko.
Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
And of court Wake is shooting unconscious against us. Our d this tournament gas been beyond garbage

This is a Wake team that doesn’t take or make a lot of threes and yet...

Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
apparently it is illegal for teams to miss 3pters against us
Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
So, have most of the teams we’ve faced recently had 1 or 2 starters unavailable (injured, suspended, etc.)??

Our help defense is terrible
Our switch defense is terrible
This leads to easy/open 3pt shots

We are the worst team in the history of basketball, and we are going to get blown out by the 2nd worst team! —in-game thread commentary
Glad the in-game thread is performing to expectations, at least.

Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
Wake Forest is projected to finish 15th (last place) in the ACC. They are the Washington State of the ACC.
Our defense, once again, reeks for the 3rd game of this tournament.
Our transition defense has been a disaster. We still haven't figured out how to hedge the screen without giving up either a layup or a wide open 3. If we don't figure this out by next Saturday Baylor is going to really tie one on us on National TV.

Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
Honestly the way the defense has been looking honestly reminds me of the Atlantis debacle.
Couldn't make any quick adjustments in such a short time, help side defense was bad.
Difference here is Arizona is playing a much weaker tournament field and has a much better offense

Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
And not to be rational or anything . . . but Wake is shooting at a 36% clip right now.
Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
zeke is frustrated because he hasn't gotten a call yet
has been pushed down 3x in the post already and when he got physical he got called for an offensive foul

Right now it’s turnovers and relatively poor shooting by us that’s making it close.

More trapping than I'm used to seeing.
Arizona State might have the most surprisingly anemic history in men's basketball of any program that you might think is better than it is.

Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
Strange half. Every other game where we had a sub-par offensive half, we’ve come out the next half and scored 60. Let’s see how it goes.

So, if you were told Mannion, Green & Nnaji would have 6 combined points, and be 2-12 at the half, what score would you have predicted?

Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
Our boards and TOs look fine. We have a good ratio of dimes to shots made. We're fine. We just need to improve on D each game and that's not evident, but it's not the only way to win. Later it will matter. Later matters. That's why we're bitching.
