your right on the $$$..can't defend to save their lives..

Exactly. They have no discipline either. A well-coached team will knock them off regardless of talent rather early.

Jman:

While I agree with you that Wake Forest will not win the Big Dance, as for tonight, keep in mind the team that they are playing is the same team except Marvin Lewis that made it all the way to the NCAA Championship Final last year against Connecticut and beat Oklahoma State in doing so. The Yellowjackets are now healthy and playing sound once again. Wake is in a game that is somewhat meaningless for them while Georgia Tech possibly, although I don't believe so, needs this game to make the tournament, but more importantly have the talent and experience to do so. This was a very playable position. Was very surprised to see the opening line hold for a while yesterday at +10.5 before being hammered today to +8.5.

I am very well aware of ga tech Ted...I'm not basing my statement on this game...I think Ga Tech is every bit the team Wake is when healthy...

I have Tech as well....I like how Dick Vitale's opinion changes as the game goes on...come on Dukie V

Great job here down the stretch though, they could have folded easily...

chris paul is awesome but j-man is right...no defense. all you have to do is look at the illinois game in november

Great game, it got hairy , this would have been a tough one to lose being such a close game....Wake has all the offense they need, but at some point on a neutral floor they will be forced to play defense and score in a half court...
