For one night. Unfortunately tonight all of our better teams are dogs and play on the road. Our two worst teams by far play at home but they are against pretty solid teams. Could get pretty rough tonight, but still nice to have a night like last night.

Take that back, Louisville’s not an underdog. Hope they win and we win and we steal another one.

Big one for our season. Don’t want to make Dayton a must win but it’s pretty close if we lose. UMD and Ohio State are both either bad or close to bad

Do you just snip negative platitudes, put them in a jar, and randomly draw them and post them on LRA to be a shitbag?

We can’t go 0-2, this week. Texas or Dayton is a must win. But Dayton still has a high risk of being a bad loss come selection time. So let’s just beat em and avoid the risk

Uh…good morning to you too. Nothing that I posted was negative. Just a reality of what tonight looks like.

Probably similar to how you feel about Ryan Odom, and our program in general

Wait what? I really like Ryan Odom and think our program is in a solid spot. Just because I think he made a very poor tactical error (both at the time and now) doesn’t mean I’m down on him or the program. And I know this talent can be very good, so I have great faith that he can coach them up and we can improve on defense.

If we miss 6 straight tournaments like Forbes has, yes, I will likely be very down on Odom, but I think most people will be.

Browsing the box scores this morning I was surprised at how many of the teams shot threes in the high twenties and a number of teams that won were in the low thirties. I suppose teams are learning how to make those shots difficult.

Fair points and just giving you a hard time. I think the switch if going to flip on for this team at some point. May not be tonight or Saturday but it’s coming. Too much talent not to

I’m shocked Forbes still has a job. Thought he was for sure gone after last season, didn’t understand retaining him at all.

In retrospect he was a suspect hire given how he built his teams at ETSU and the rule changes since, they really should have pulled the plug this past season.

(Also kind of a jerk)

The Curry effect. Everyone thinks they’re a great shooter, and I doubt even 5% put in near the work Curry does.

A great time in the game’s evolution to have an effective big who can score down low when the game isn’t oriented to that style and defenders are out on the perimeter.

If I recall Wake made a run at Ryan Odom. But may be wrong. Probably right for them to hold off an offseason.

Forbes seems to be a good talent evaluator. Has done well in the portal. Poor in game coach though. They’ve been on just the wrong side of the bubble. Seem to always lose in frustrating fashion.

I recall that but thought he wasn’t interested in Dad’s shadow? Plus I’d like to think us and Villanova were much better jobs..

If he does get fired, at least we’ll always have his Welcome to Wake Forest video to remember him by. There should be a Top 10 cringey videos with Forbes and Brian Kelly somewhere near the top.

My (pending) in-laws can’t stand him because of some comments he made about Kentucky when they were fighting over Oscar Tshiebwe.

Don’t think they could tell you what’s going on with a single other non-Duke ACC team but will root against Forbes and Wake if they’re on

I get texts from them if UVa beats Louisville, Wake, or Virginia Tech. Basically the only times lol
