Wake is really young

[Palatine]

Two seniors,one junior, a couple of sophomores and a ton of freshmen.

 

[UChusky916]

just like our championship team in '10... except our 1 junior was pretty special.

What have they done so far?

 

[mauconnfan]

Beat Radford by 12..............4 starters in double figures and they shot 64% from the court............only 27 from 3............

And we're not much older if you count a new mix of players and players not playing in the positions they played last season.

 

[Palatine]

Coach: Jeff Bzdelik (third year, 21-42; 10th year overall, 123-141)

2011-12 record: 13-18, 4-12 ACC

Returning starters: 2

Best Player, F Travis McKie, Jr., 6-7/220: Led team in rebounds (7.0) and was second on team in points (16.1) per game last season. Has started every game during his Wake Forest career and played in the post for the past two years. Will make a move to play on the wing more this season, which should open up his offensive game.

Projected starting lineup
PG Codi Miller-McIntyre, Fr., 6-3/195 (4 stars, 0 career starts):
SG C.J. Harris, Sr., 6-3/190 (3 stars, 83 career starts): 16.7 ppg, 2.5 apg, 42.2% from 3-point
SF Travis McKie, Jr., 6-7/220 (4 stars, 63 career starts): 16.1 ppg, 7.0 rpg, 47.8% from the field
PF Arnaud Adala Moto, Fr., 6-6/225 (3.7 stars, 0 career starts):
C Tyler Cavanaugh, Fr., 6-9/230 (3 stars, 0 career starts):

FT 73.6 percent, ranked first in the ACC

Good for UConn Next-to-last in the ACC with a 25.8 offensive rebound percentage

They do not start tall but their guards are giants compared to our dynamic duo.

 

[Kurt]

They HATE their BB coach more than we hate GDL/PP.

Some are even betting on UCONN.funny stuff.

[phillionaire]

my favorite quote from that thread: I just want to watch our team play a brand of basketball that doesn't make me throw my much more fragile remote into my much more fragile flat screen and question whether I should legitimately start seeking out a new college team or just start doing meth before our games.

They are also very turnover prone.
