Game Thread – Pack/Deacs Redux

As the Pack looks to break out of a serious lull…you couldn’t ask for better than a home game vs. Wake Forest. The first matchup was a beatdown of epic proportions. It was clear to me that the Pack had completely figured out how to obliterate the Deacs’ high school junk offensive sets. I don’t think they have a Plan B. We shall see at 1 pm.

    Nicely designed play there to get Woo to draw the defenders out from inside.

    what is wakes FG%?

    Wake’s basketball IQ is … not the highest.

  4. BJD95 02/04/2012 at 2:24 PM #

    Yeah, that was his first. I used “again” based on his pattern from last several games.

    Why did the ACC schedule three games for the same damned time?

    I’ll take up by 9 at the half. If we had that white guard for wake we’d have won about 2 more games.

    Nice to see aj make some plays out there. Pulling for this kid.

    AJ can either hit his open shots or just run around the defense and can be effective. If he does neither, he’s useless as a sub.

    It’s snowing like mad in England, which makes Premier League soccer interesting halftime viewing.

    ^And it’s raining on Fulham…

    Am I the only one who finds Wisconsin basketball almost unwatchable? Maybe it is the Sendek hang over but that offense is just a snoozer

    I was watching the other game b/c it was snowing harder. Would love an outdoor Super Bowl in the snow.

    Not a good start to the second half

  12. BJD95 02/04/2012 at 2:41 PM #

    Agree totally on WI hoops. It’s fugly.

  13. Rick 02/04/2012 at 2:42 PM #

    I guess slapping the backboard during a shot is no longer goal tending

    Woo with the bad foul

  14. choppack1 02/04/2012 at 2:43 PM #

    It would also be nice to have vandenberg. We could use his height.

  15. Rick 02/04/2012 at 2:43 PM #

    That was a man’s rebound by Howell.

  16. Lunatic Fringe 02/04/2012 at 2:43 PM #

    Rick – I completely agree. (topic: Wisconsin basketball). You can win, but no one really wins having to watch that offense game in and game out.

  17. SaccoV 02/04/2012 at 2:44 PM #

    Wisconsin basketball should be renamed hockey. As soon as the other team has the ball, we hack, hold, scratch. or just run over them. The reason its unwatchable is that Bo Ryan dresses 11 guys and makes sure they commit 4 fouls each, and whatever the ref doesn’t call, gets re-labelled “great defense.” The worst part is that offensive teams, like Indiana and Michigan State, are becoming a rare breed in the Big Ten.

    “Would love an outdoor Super Bowl in the snow.”

    The Superbowl will be in the Meadowlands, NJ in a 2014, so there’s hope.

    Howell shoots with his elbow out

  20. wufpup76 02/04/2012 at 2:49 PM #

    Well sh*t.

  21. Lunatic Fringe 02/04/2012 at 2:49 PM #

    Unfortunately, it appears the ACC has moved to more coaches with that “take the air out of the ball” mentality. BC has become unwatchable and I am surprised they have been able to keep what little following they had at BC.

    Skinner at least made them relevant.

  22. wufpup76 02/04/2012 at 2:51 PM #

    8/12 from three. Jesus.

    No more zone.

  23. Rick 02/04/2012 at 2:51 PM #

    Agreed LF
    The type of game used to be the exception and now it seems to be the rule.

    UNC and us are about the only “offensive” teams left.

  24. wufpup76 02/04/2012 at 2:53 PM #

    Whoa … we got away with one there.

  25. Rick 02/04/2012 at 2:58 PM #

    Great move by Brown to avouid the charge and make the bucket
