Any idea at all when we will get Malik Brown back?

This team is not really gonna go far without him. And we have to hit open threes. That’s pretty much given.

But Brown is going to be a key to be able to spell Maluach, especially when we go against teams with quicker centers.

Absolutely pitiful preparation and execution. Don’t think I’ve ever witnessed something like this.

Flagg going on one, dribbling around for 20 seconds is not a good offense. It is a recipe for disaster and loss. This is the core problem with Duke when we play a good defensive team. We don’t move or have good sets on offense. Of course it’s been the weakness of this system for Years.

Shire needs to get them moving more and develop some set plays on offense instead of just standing there watching.

We’re not going to win this game and that’s ok. Can’t win with a swallowed whistle on one end

I don't want to hear anything about refs. That's soft talk. We don't do that. Leave that to UNC and or UK. The bottom line is we are 0 for 5011 after the half.

********. These refs have been ***. You're blind if you don't see it. Sure, we've played into it and let it bother us. But there is no denying how horrendous it has been and has definitely benefited Wake. Both things can be true. We fell in love with the 3 because we're not getting calls at the rim.

Agree bleed. But this is the time we put our big boy pants on and find a way to grab the win. Jon just went zone after we cut it to 4.

Exactly. Said it in the first couple of minutes that the game would be unwatchable because of the refs. On a side note WF has shot almost 3x as many FTs as Duke today....🤣
