Florida had 15 offensive boards today. They didn't light it up by any means. But shot a lot more free throws than Wake did.

[shockerfan]

We had 7 assists on 27 baskets, Florida had 8 assists on 23 baskets and Wake Forest had 9 assists on 21 baskets. It's just the style now a days. I prefer a lot of assists like everyone, but depending on style of play and type of players sometimes it's gonna be a lot more iso. Juat find a way to win. Now rebounding and defense should always be there as those are effort stats mostly....

I feel like we keep it close but then Florida pulls away at the end as they capitalize on our mistakes unlike Minnesota.

That's fair. I too think we keep it pretty close and end up losing by 7 or so.

Black Friday. Middle of the day on ESPN. It doesn’t get much bigger than this. Florida is up to Kenpom #11. Most likely our highest rated opponent all year. Haven’t been this excited for a game in awhile!

Shockers are 6 wins and 0 loses. I'm thankful for it, because it has taken some fortune to get there. Hope the guys aren't too tired tomorrow. But I think their luck may run out tomorrow. Game vs. Minnesota was entertaining tv and a fun game to watch. Hoping for a competitive game tomorrow, but am not gonna lie, their length and athleticism is a little daunting, and the game today took something out of the guys I'm sure, definitely a man's game. Go Shocks!

Yep. If you would have asked at the start of the season if I would take 6-1 leaving Orlando I would have taken it for sure. Especially if you said the only loss was to a highly ranked Florida team. It would mean we would have no bad losses. I can live with that heading into December.

7-0 would be sweeter but not holdimg my breath

I’m just hoping beyond hope that we manage to be like “men” again tomorrow. Please surprise me. Or at the very least don’t embarrass me lmao

HOLY **** !!!!!!!

That's crazy. But he doesn't have any stats yet. Not sure if he is injured or maybe being that tall isn't ready for the speed of the game....

Edit: just read they plan to redshirt him

I would have been ok with 6-1 coming into the year.

That said it sucks this is likely one of our very few Q1 opportunities all year. Likely our only one in the non con

Pretty tough to go against a team like Florida, or about any ranked team, without a PF.
