Can’t wait for that Efton Reid v Dai Dai post battle we’ve all been waiting for.

Prediction: if we win 2 of 3 the RIBers will be back… and with Forbes’s amazing ability to lose on the bubble, don’t rule it out.

20+ point loss. Wake will be angry and desperate after their loss to NC State. Will be a “get right” game for them

Well we couldn’t kill UNC’s dream but maybe we could ruin Wake Forest’s?

Wake is junk. T-Rank #69. They’re only gonna be 6 or 7 point faves at home versus us. I like our chances.

7

Pretty sure NC State just did that already.

You know it’s an “off year” for the program when we have 9 posts on the thread for the Wake game who we play in 7 hours. We have a game tonight- right?!?!

I got … not much

Apparently Omaha Biliew has been back the last few games. He was a highly touted recruit who left Iowa state after a year, and has mostly been injured this year.

He didn’t play much last year either. Not sure if that was injury related or he just want that good on a very good team.

My only contribution to this is for the younger generation. Marc Blucas - who played for wake when Fresh and I were playing, rose to acting fame as Buffy The Vampire Slayer’s boyfriend and is still currently an actor. He acted in so many films and TV shows I’ll just include the link.

Fun Fact: spent a week with him in Charlotte during the filming of Eddie. It’s a terrible film, where Whoopi Goldberg plays the part of the New York Knicks coach. Blucas was on the Knicks and I played for like nine teams because we filmed for a week at the Charlotte Coliseum for fake game footage. Made like $5k and it was awesome- we all went out every night.

If you look really closely during the film, you can see me doing Elijah Gertrude like things…. Actually, I’m on screen for about three seconds and didn’t have a speaking role. It was a major oversight by the director.

Go Hoos!

The latter. They tried him out against the Q4 section of their schedule but when things got real, his playing time dropped to basically zero.

Random thoughts:

  • The chance to play spoiler to Wake’s tourney hopes does appeal to me
  • It’s weird as an observer to adjust to a Wake team that doesn’t shoot that many threes and isn’t good at it. They’ve reformed themselves as defense-first team with the Spillers-Reid combo providing good rim protection and try to get just enough shot creation out of Sallis and Hildreth.
  • We should feel pretty comfortable trotting out big lineups like Blake-ARob. Spillers has been effective inside but doesn’t have range.

Just hit me the game isn’t until 9. Had dinner, grabbed a beverage and hit the recliner, full pregame routine, ready to tune in for Fresh and Hav. Now we wait.
